  Chez Christy - getting the band back together - Brian/Jen, Pat/Arantza (Oxford, Maryland): Last bottle of this unique Viognier from this vintage...first wine of a big night. Chilled, served as an aperitif.
  
  From prior notes: "Light gold/hay color. Perfumed nose, showing some orchard fruits and dried floral notes. Palate of lemon, white flowers, melon. Orchard fruits, white peach persist through the mid palate. Medium weight and finish..."
  
  Has held up well, still expressive, citrus notes still there, more rounded. A great Summer wine. Was not sure this one would have made the journey. Should have a few more years in it

  huge nose of citrus, like grapefruit. Big fruity palate. What an awesome way to start a meal.

  Incredibly lush mouthfeel like no other I have had from a Viognier. Beautiful tropical fruits and acidity, even 5+ hours of being open. Wow...just wow!!!

  Brought to drink with Ken G along with some homemade cheeses. Thought the aromatic white would be a nice start. Had first bottle of this vintage over the Summer, adding this note as this was a slightly different (and better) experience.

  This bottle had been nicely chilled, PnP, drank over about an hour. The chill made the wine a bit more precise, flavors and aromatics evolved in the glass. We kept a slight chill on it while drinking. Turned out to be a great pairing for the cheeses, this is an interesting wine as an aperitif or would be great with salads, summer fare

  Once again a great acidity and balanced wine. Smoothing variety and not at all crisp. Strong and ample amounts of apricot, apricot nut, and lemon, and then some papaya, and then kiwi fruit. WOW Just so many flavors. Fab wine !!!!
