... is the idea of living in this seemingly tropical climate where every steamy day ends in a release of rain and thunder and lightening from the sky...
...is sitting on our back porch drinking a 2003 Darioush viognier, purchased at the vineyard back when I had no concept of marriage, mortgages, or what a viognier even was, watching the wind and rain pound the trees and the ground...
...is not having to water our garden straight through July, our lettuce crunchy and fine...
And because I couldn't have said it better myself, and because it has been sitting at my home for almost 5 years, and because I wandered into a vineyard in the midst of construction at 10am on a weekday and fell in love with a white wine for the first time, “The 2003 Darioush Viognier Napa Valley posses texture and flavors so concentrated, the wine almost suggests a honey made from the pollen of honeydew melon, jasmine, citrus blossom, and honeysuckle. Amazingly, this Rhone-style white is not especially sweet; rather it pools luxuriously on the palate, then, like a summer raindrop, evaporates refreshingly.” Brett Anderson.
