Alexandria Nicole's 2006 Columbia Valley Viognier (91 pts - $18) as their White Wine of the Month for October.
"This leads with scents of fruit blossoms, accented with a mildly leesy aroma. The reticent nose doesn't prepare you for the wine's generous flavors, redolent of ripe peaches with a seductive, succulent juicy texture.
