Revive this one!
Alamos Viognier. Excellent!
2006 Alamos Viognier (Argentina)
Sourced from the Gualtallary district of Tupungato, 5,000 feet above sea level, this vineyard is the highest in Mendoza. Sandy and lime soils with a rocky sub-soil allow for excellent drainage. The low average temperature and wide thermal amplitude of this unique microclimate have so far shown incredible potential, providing fruit with explosive aromatics, rich, concentrated flavors, excellent natural acidity and pure elegance of style. The warm sunny days and cool mountain nights allow for gradual ripening of the fruit. This factor combined with the typically mild harvest season promotes prolonged cluster hang-time. The result is that the Viognier grapes achieve a full, well balanced maturity.

If it has these two words on the bottle; Faustino & Rioja then its fine with me.
Had a bottle of white Faustino a few year back, manager of Odd bins in Cirencester saved it for me. Was great but never seen another one since! probably because of the price tag.Comment

Forgot to tell. Yesterday a friend brought to me once again a bottle of Rosé "Touraine Noble Joué 2005". It is one of my favourites now.
How nice, summer is very near!

Yes, this is one of the AOC wine areas in the Loire region. Is it called vin gris? I think it is a blend of pinot minieur, pinot gris and pinot noir. subtle, fresh and round full taste I would say. I normally drink rose only in spring, summer or sunny autumn day as well. La Palma rose from chile is one of my favourites and Chateau puy servaine, Bergerac, but cannot get the last one here.
Salut!

I just tried another Prosecco (spumante), I really somehow don't like those. They're all too sweet somehow.
Yesterdays sparkling wine (Graham beck) from South Africa was ok, though.
Gosh, I sound like a heavy drinker.

You have been in my book for some time..
I am not a sparkling wine man myself to be honest. Once in a while. Champagne is overrated imo. I prefer Blanquette de Limoux, south of France or Cava from Spain.
Prosecco is indeed the new trendy thing (though it has been there for decades)!
Cheers (where are the bubbly smileys from the beeb?)
