Friday Group Brown Bag Tasting (R&D’s): Double blind. Apple and earthy clay aromas are followed by toast and pear flavors on the palate. Almost chardonnay, but not. Guessed chenin blanc. This was a surprise as viognier never entered my mind as it was lacking stone fruits, florals and the texture of the variety. Decent, but not what I would hope for if I wanted viognier.

4th Saturday Brown Bagger (R&D’s): Double blind. Very light, pale color. Citrus and floral notes. Heightened acidity on the palate, with flavors of citrus and white fruit. Takes on a subtle soapy quality with air, which for me usually signals albarino.
