Dinner Wine

On Fridays we usually have steak but this past Friday Warren decided to have fish. We had fluke flounder that was lightly breaded and pan fried with olive oil and butter. It was topped with capers and a butter sauce. We had it with bow tie pasta with parmesan cheese.

Warren selected the 2009 Viognier Reserve from Barboursville Vineyards. It was a perfect pairing. We noted ripe pear and lichen nut on the nose. It had a full mouth feel with similar flavors and a bit of spice in the mouth. It complimented the butter sauce very well. We have always enjoyed Barboursville wines. It seems like you can’t go wrong with a Barboursville wine.
