  As a Condrieu aficionado/pervert, those apt moments to open a bottle and espouse on the virtues of the appellation are sparse. Sure, you can cook some asparagus and brag on the wine, but all those non-sensualists are just going to hate. And that—through gritted teeth—is fine; some people don’t need joy. But for those of us who are keyed in to pleasure, maybe cook up some asparagus. And pour some Condrieu. And even if no one listens, just know that things are alright.

  Gold. Honey, peach, floral/tropical. Nose shifted pineapple when room temp. Honey, light fruit, pear, salt. Lite butter finish with honey and fruit integration. Full. Heavy.

  Just beginning to show to maturity. Nose still floral if not exotically so. Fine texture—rich, not zaftig— pear skin pebbly mineral undertone, a touch of salty honey Viognier goodness. Bonny as they say. Quite lovely with lobster noodles at Wu’s Wonton King.
