This time it was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blenheimvineyards.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blenheim Vineyards<\/a> Viognier (out of Virginia!!) brought to us via Twitter friend <a href=\"http:\/\/drinkwhatyoulike.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Frank Morgan<\/a> (@DrinkWhatULike).<\/p>\n<p>As you&#8217;ll see in the video we enjoyed this wine on a little road trip hotel stay! We got a good amount of minerality, a touch of spritz, as well as good acidity. It was a very nice wine but interesting for people so used to sipping on Paso Robles Viognier, really showed us how different the different regions are but we thought that was a nice showing for newbies to Virginia wines.<\/p>\n<p>Big thanks to Frank, you rock, friend!!<\/p>\n<p>The moral of this post is: try different varieties, different regions, and drink with an open mind that is eager to learn. This Virginia wine swap (and the <a title=\"Wine Swap: New York &amp; Paso Robles\" href=\"..\/2011\/02\/good-wine-good-friends-region\/\" target=\"_blank\">New York wine swap<\/a> we did) really motivated us to get hungry about the other regions and what they have to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers people&#8230;drink, laugh, and love!!<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u7Hq06HLQvg[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"..\/2011\/02\/good-wine-good-friends-region\/\">Wine Swap: New York &amp; Paso Robles<\/a> (hootnannieblog.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a title=\"&quot;Enhanced by Zemanta&quot; \" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another wine we tasted thanks to social media, and I know that you know how much we love social media&#8230;and wine!!!
