Viognier is the vogue-ish grape responsible for Condrieu, one of France's most esteemed whites. It's also gaining serious credibility outside the Rhône Valley's famed Condrieu district. Here's a shining example. CedarCreek's Platinum viognier is full-bodied and delectably silky, coating the palate with classic orange and honey characters as well as tinned peach and a musky, spicy verve – at half the cost of many serious Condrieus. Marry it with some good Indian curry takeout. Available direct from the B.C. winery, cedarcreek.bc.ca.
