[The Other 46] Breaux Vineyards | The Other 46: We visited on a Wednesday where Breaux is one of the few Virginia wineries open during the week.  The tasting room was quiet and the weather fabulous to sample some of Virginia’s best.  The tasting fee is $10 and includes 13 wines.  If I were to include all of my notes, this post would become a small novel, so I’ll stick with the highlights.  Up first were the whites.  The ‘07 Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier were my winners of the group.  The Sauvignon Blanc was outstanding and has me very excited about the potential of this grape variety in Virginia.  A dry, crisp wine with good fruit left me wishing I had driven to Virginia versus flying.  I’m limited to what I can pack in my suitcase and of course, it’s no time to be shipping wine to Florida in this heat.  The Viognier, on my palate at least, was a unique example for Virginia (which I appreciate).  Beautiful orange blossom and pineapple dominated throughout.  The ‘06 Select Barrel Chardonnay and the ‘05 Madeleines Chardonnay are great examples of the contrasting styles of this variety and are highly recommended.
