I made 15-20 gallons of Chardonnay in 2016, 2017. Silver medal winner at the CA state fair. We really enjoy it, but wanted to do something different this year, so I made around 25 gallons of Viognier. I would say it is a decent Viognier, but not as appealing to the wife and I as the previous two years of Chardonnay.
I've already done some blending of my 2017 Chardonnay with the 2018 Viognier and it definitely makes the Viognier something we would enjoy drinking more than just the Viognier by itself. We would end up with kind of a weird blend Viognier-nay. I found that it doesn't take much Chard to dominate the Vio, but once I do it, there's no going back.
