Bottle #7 on Our Shelves | $35
This is Wine Captain Thomas D'Acquisto's top recommended bottle for this week's Friday Night Dinner for Two.
The 2023 Opolo Viognier from Paso Robles is a rich, smooth, bone-dry white with aromas and flavors of apricot, peach, and orange blossom.
Thomas selected it to pair with this week's chicken with artichoke piccata sauce and mashed potatoes. The wine's ripe stone-fruit character brings a fresh contrast to the savory chicken, while its smooth texture works naturally alongside the butter and white wine in the piccata sauce. The dry finish keeps the pairing balanced with the capers and artichoke hearts without adding unnecessary sweetness.
It is a fuller, more aromatic style of white wine, making it a particularly good choice for a dinner that has both richness and bright, savory flavors.
Add a bottle to your preorder and Friday night is handled.
Why We Recommend It
The apricot and peach give the wine enough fruit to complement the chicken without competing with the meal. Its smooth texture works with the buttery piccata sauce and creamy mashed potatoes, while the bone-dry finish provides contrast to the richness of the plate.
The orange blossom aroma adds another layer without making the wine feel heavy or sweet.
Best For
The person who wants a white wine with more body and character than a light, crisp everyday white, but still wants something dry, smooth, and easy to enjoy with dinner.
It is especially well suited to someone who enjoys aromatic whites with ripe stone-fruit flavors rather than a heavily oaked style.
