QUANDRY? OH!





Viognier is one of the world's greatest white wine grapes. It's also one of the most misunderstood. All too often, New World examples have more in common with fruit cocktail syrup than wine. Those that are well-made are also high-priced. We're proud to offer a beautiful, textbook example of this alluring variety...and at a price that's tasteful, too.

As to the name? Well, it's a bit of a play on words. Viognier hails from the Northern Rhône village/appellation of Coundrieu (pronounced 'con-dree-ew'). "Quandry? Oh!" pays tribute to Viognier's ancestral roots. It also plays to the fact that this is the perfect wine when you're in a quandry as to what to serve.

Oh!
