ORLENS AND I recently tried a 100% Viognier (vee-yon-yay) from our friends at Trivento in Argentina. Wine made from this grape is not very popular around the Caribbean, but in a few years Viognier might compete with Chardonnay for popularity (we’ll see!).

ROSÉ IS not for real wine-drinkers – at least that use to be the attitude of many “self-respecting wine drinkers” not so long-ago. Until recently, many had a hard time showing rosé the light of day because deserved or not, the wines had a reputation for being cheap and only for “novice wine-drinkers”.
