Viognier
Basics:	Originally from the Rhone Valley of France. Known for tropical fruit flavors. Frequently claimed as 'Virginia's white wine'.
Grower   Comments: (by County)	ANNE ARUNDEL: Excellent flovors but unable to produce enough fruit at the site to recommend future plantings. CARROLL: Very good quality but scraggly growth. CECIL: Replanting all of it. Intolerant of just about anything (disease, growing conditions, etc.). I don't need a plant that requires so much TLC. QUEEN ANNE'S: Very slow grower. Takes 5 years to get 1st crop. Tough skins, fairly disease resistant, makes a delightful wine if patient. QUEEN ANNE'S: 2nd leaf is growing very slow for us and probably should be nirrigation. ST. MARY'S: Grows well but yields poorly due to poor fruit set.
Growing   Recommendations:	Must fully develop before picking. Can have low yields. Appears to be be fairly intolerant of wet years.
Winery   Considerations:	Best drunk young. Can be made dry or as a dessert style Has a 'cult' following on the East Coast Can add fruit peach and apricot aromas when used as a blender.
