The wine: Saint Amant La Tabardonne 2007
This was an unusual wine from Rhone with 95% Viognier grown on highish altitude. A delicate wine such as this one was vital in such company. There was a nice oriental nose of lychee and a good taste of apricot and peach. Wonderfully long palate as with good Viogniers. A nice change from the usual Sake.

Well, we did fry the skin and the rest: lightly floured and a pinch of sea salt for seasoning. Wonderful.

Cockroach catcher, We are lucky to have the Clonakilla winery near Canberra. It is home to Australia’s definitive shiraz Viognier, a wine which is fast becoming one of our top drops. They also make a nouveau Viognier which I would love you to try with fresh seafood. The light style is a great complement to delicate flavours.
Thanks for the tip off. Will look out for them. We have been through the Rhone Valley a few times and have always enjoyed the smaller vineyards.
We are always looking for a good white as we have fish so very often.
