Wine Pick: Paul Mas Viognier Pays d’Oc 2014

A frugally-priced bottle to ease your pain during tax return season

It’s tax time, meaning now more than ever we all need the solace of a decent drop that doesn’t break the bank. This fragrant beauty from the South of France is just the ticket, full of Mediterranean warmth and bursting with the exotic perfumed aromas of viognier. Mouthfilling and rich without being in any way cloying; lusciously fruity without being sweet, this is a killer value that deserves to be an everyday go-to standby—especially given it’s easy adaptability with food.  Chicken salad, pork kebab, cheese plate… it’ll handle most foods you care to throw at it.Paul Mas Viognier Pays d’Oc 2014 | France | $12.29
