Carrol from the wine rep from The Country Vintner Came by with the wine-maker from Penner-Ash Wine Cellars, Lynn Penner-Ash herself. One of the problems with meeting the wine-maker when you first taste the wine is that the wine has a tendency to taste better. There's nothing especially mysterious about this, drinking wine with the whoever lovingly made the wine just puts you in a better mood and that would make any wine taste better. With that caveat---This is the best Viogner I have ever tasted. The winery specializes in Pinot Noir which are spectacular (more on them later), but I've had spectacular Pinot Noirs, before this is my first spectacular Viogner. A rich almost oily texture, creamy with lots of fruit flavors, melon, pear, tropical fruit, and long sweet finish. The Wine Spectator gave it 91 points. This is a truly great white wine.
