Wine: Zimmerman Vineyards 2006 Junius Lindsay Viognier.
Cost: $15.
Review: Viognier has been touted as a possible signature white grape for North Carolina, and wine lovers can certainly get an idea why from the 2006 Junius Lindsay Viognier from Zimmerman Vineyards in Davidson County (now called Junius Lindsay Vineyard to avoid confusion with Zimmerman Vineyards in Trinity). Its floral and fruity aroma of ripe
peach and pear continues in the taste. Though light to medium in body, this wine has a subtle richness to it. With its excellent balance and long, dry finish, this is a wine to watch. Available at Wine Merchants Gourmet in Winston-Salem. For more information, visit www.juniuslindsay.com.
