Zuccardi Series A Chardonnay-Viognier 2008 from Mendoza, Argentina.
We found this to be an interesting blend of 50% chardonnay from the Tupungato region and 50% viognier from the Santa RZuccardi Series A Chardonnay-Viognier 2008 from Mendoza, Argentina. We found this to be an interesting blend of 50% chardonnay from the Tupungato region and 50% viognier from the Santa Rose vineyards. The aroma is all viognier, but the taste is predominantly chardonnay. It has a crisp refreshing flavor with fresh peach aromas. The wine exhibits good balanced acidity with a long-lasting finish. Alcohol is 13% by volume. PLCB product code is 22764 and is available at most PA Wine and Spirit Stores for $11.99.

This Week’s Fun Fact. The corkscrew was invented when wine was just starting to be stored in bottles rather than terra cotta amphoras and then oak barrels. 
Once a narrow-necked bottle was created, wine could finally be safely stored for longer periods with the help of a cork. The earliest known patent for the corkscrew was in England in 1795. (From “History of the Corkscrew” by Mary Bellis).

I bought the Cupcake - mainly for the name and also because it was featured at the super duper wine store in Limerick - and was pleasantly surprised with its smoothness and sippability (not sure if that was a word before, but it is now). A nice summer wine.
