Get away from the Chard and do something like Pineridge Chenin Blanc/Viognier Blend. At $11, it is widely available, food friendly, and tastes like it should be $20 +. For the red, I think Columbia Crest makes a really good...

We stayed there in their industry house for two nights. It was absolutely amazing. And I have to say that the do great ice wines and a Domaine Viognier that the only made a couple cases of that was extrodinary. I hope they made...

Viognier, in San Mateo. http://www.viognierrestaurant.com

than $25-35/night at most, plus maybe one night a big splurge at somewhere hot. P.S. I fear tourists traps, chain restaurants, and looove California chard/viognier. Thanks!

own wine for the picnic. How creative CAN I be ... perhaps a mix of Viognier, Chardonnay & Pinot Noir Link: http://www.crushpadwine.com/

started with the fig salad which was excellent. A salad of fresh greens with arugula, pecans, “Laura Chenel” chevre, pancetta, fig & port vinaigreete. My taste buds were in heaven with this! I chose the 2002 Imagery...

on the freshest ingredients he can find. The wine list is 100% American and has a good variety. We had a great Arrowood Viognier and a Byron Pinot Noir both reasonably priced. Desserts were simple but good.

-up with the lobster salad (very good) and the prosciutto w/ figs (excellent). Then split an order of the risotto di mare (excellent!!). Enjoyed a bottle of the Pride viognier (very good). Lazily made it through an order of...

You might try Viognier in San Mateo. They have a private room, though I’ve never been in it and thus have no idea of the size or the cost. Foodwise, the restaurant should be non-offensive to most if not all.

There’s actually a bit of a scandal (and potentially many lawsuits and fines) re: Calif. Roussanne. Much of it turns out to be Viognier. Genuine Roussanne has the ability to age, whereas, Viognier is usually better in its...

Thanks, y’all. Ended up at 518, good Italian. Not great, but very good, and VERY quick and nice service. Also, had a terrific wine by the glass which I’ll check up and get the name of, because it was outstanding: a...

I would agree 100% with the other replies. Both Treana’s red and white are excellent wines. The white is a Viognier/Marsanne blend (with the % changing slightly with vintage). The Marsanne adds a wonderful drying dimension...

with pesto, corn and shelled peas....YUMMY. Desserts were: creme brulee..and the very best IMO a Panna Cota~ creamy like the angels would make with bing cheeries poached in viognier. We shared some wine..rose(Robert Hall) and a...

I haven’t eaten at either Viognier or 231 so can’t comment on those. Both have been around for a long time; Viognier was originally opened by Gary Danko.
