QUOTIDIAN (Viogner) 2023
Quotidian; "of or occurring every day." Most of life doesn't make the highlight reel. Rather, it is about showing up and doing what needs to be done, day after day, with little fanfare. It seems to me that happiness comes from findig the beauty in daily life. Truly enjoying the 99% of life that happens between the major life events and epic vacations. I hope you enjoy this wine today and every day.
QUOTIDIAN is 100% Viogner sourced from Washington's Royal Slope AVA. It was fermented and aged in stainless steel, providing a clean varietal nature.
The trick in pairing food with Viogner is to work with the floral notes and medium acidity. Wine folly reommends embellishing and expanding the wine's core flavors and make sure the foods aren't too acidic or too bold. Classical pairings include richer protiens; roasted chicken, chicken curry, quail, pork chops, turkey, seafood, leeks, fennel, squash, etc. See where the Muses take you!

Northwest Wine Report - 91 points - Critic’s Choice
Viognier often has aromatic promise that it does not fully deliver on. This wine hits the hard-to-find mid-point of ripeness and balance. The aromas are effusive, with notes of peach nectar and white flower. The palate shows texture and intensity while keeping it all in check.
