As I cannot easily obtain Folle Blanc anymore, I found Viognier by J winery. When the Daughter sold the winery, Vionier disappeared. Eventually I found Porter Creeks Viognier to be my choice. The problem is its getting to hot in West Texas in the late Spring, Summer and early fall. Recently I found a French Viognier by Triennes that I'm enjoying now. But once the temps drop I will have Porter Creek send me a couple of cases for 2019. Folle Blanc was a favorite of the Louis Martini Family with very limited production. When the daughter took over they concentrated on Cabernet they quit producing all their other varieties. Folle is very light dry wine with a supper clean finish. But must be enjoyed as soon as possible. Viogneir . Is similar to Pinot Gris, but is fruitier, with a more complex rendering. It can be a little acidic if not properly produced, bottled, and stored. It has a longer shelf life, but not much more than 6 months. Porter Creek is by far the best at equaling or even surpassing J's offering in the past of the 30 or so brands I have tried. What was great with Folle was you could enjoy it with any fish dish and it wouldn't cover the delicacies of the different fish. Where Pinot Gris and Viognier you have to be more selective. Fume blanc is even heavier and to colored in my opinion for delicate fish. All these wines are best enjoyed served chilled. All the wines mentioned are from either Sonoma or Napa counties, CA. Excluding the French wine. There was an AKA Viognier bottled in California sold by a winery in Fredericksburg, Texas, but its no longer available and their selection grown in Texas I would not recommend.
If my beer drinking buddies were around we would be downing Colorado Cool aid. Better know as Coors Banquet Beer. As I worked in Mexico in the 70's and 80's I love Mexican beer. For the Bourbon lovers, Woodford reserve, and for Scotch, Glenlivet
single Malt. I also like a really good Tequila.
Water is nice, too. So is Coca COLA, but with a little Old Wellar. I drink my Whole Milk Straight. I like to finish a heavy meal with a B&B.
