I picked this bottle up at Total Wine for $10. It just happened to catch my eye. The Viognier-Muscat blend seemed interesting. Plus it was medium dry…this could be something Alfonso would like.

I bought this wine as a trio from Lot18.com. I opened it because after entering it into my CellarTracker it showed it was past its prime drinking window.

I have decided to get organized with my wine. If I write about it I have a way to remember it. But I do not blog about every wine I drink. I do not have time. Plus while I love journaling about wine, really I just want to drink it .  So- I have been [...]
