In my item on Condrieu I mentioned that there were successful Viogniers from places other than the Rh??ne. I have now got round to sampling this one, from Middleburg in Virginia, and I recommend it warmly.
Its makers, Chrysalis Vineyards, have been in business for only a decade. They have all the exuberance of youth. ???We are new, excited and energized,??? their website tells us breathlessly, ???as we combine the best of modern techniques with the traditional hand-crafted winemaking method....
