“Best wines $20 and under: 2004 Miner Family Simpson Vineyard Viognier – Naysayers would never have believed that California’s hot Central Valley could produce a racy, vibrant white wine like this, but the Miners have proof in the bottle. Gary Brookman ferments Simpson Vineyard grapes exclusively in stainless steel to capture all their lively acidity and delicious peach-and-honeysuckle flavor.”
