2007. I asked the sommelier about the 2007 Alban Viognier and he said that he had opened a bottle last week but hadn’t poured any yet. Definitely the color shows some age, but the flavors and aromas were Viognier. — 2 months ago

I have wanted to do Alban side by side with Rostaing with a well seasoned Tri-tip. Tonight is the night.
