Wine Grapes: Viognier
This lush white from the French Rhone Valley is Syrah’s sister grape and one of the few white grapes that grows well in warmer climates. Its wines are rich and aromatic with pronounced notes of apricot and peach, often coupled with floral notes of orange blossom and honey.
Wine Grapes: Cabernet Franc
This French varietal is used primarily used to lend acidity and to fine Bordeaux-style blends. I have just started drinking Cabernet Franc and...... "me like"!
Wine Grapes: Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon made its way from France in the mid-19th century. This grape ranges in style from simple, fruity, friendly wines that are great for informal occasions such as picnics, casual get-togethers, or Wednesday night dinner, to big, bold blockbusters full of luscious concentrated fruit and plenty of “wow factor.” This fermented grape will always be my favorite.
