Wine Folly

 I couldn't find a section of wine folly about either of the grapes used, or about Virginia wines. The notes I got on the wine closely reminded me of viognier, which is described on page 186 to have fruity notes like tangerine, peach, and mango, with floral notes of honeysuckle and rose

Personal Review

This wine was crisp and fruity, with a smell of mandarin orange and peach, mixed with some floral notes. The flavor was more citrusy, with mandarin orange as well as lemon, and without such pronounced floral notes.
