Perfect Pair for a Party
Viognier grapes are the new darlings of white wine. Think Chardonnay, but not as heavy with the makeup. It's a real charmer that's fun to sip any time. Cono Sur makes one of the best – and practically gives it away.

Don't be put off by the Goats label – this is a delicious, warm-hearted red with great drinkability. Not overly rich. Could well convert you to South African red.

Cono Sur Viognier, Chile, 2007, $10.

Fairview 'Goats Do Roam' Red, South Africa, 2006, $13.
