One of my recent tweets: Man Vinters 08 chenin b: Crisp and doesn’t wimp out halfway through like so many dry whites. Apples, citrus, but also mineral! GLUG GLUG $7!

Just had one before watching this episode! Sainsbury’s own Anjou, Loire Valley for £3.69! Actually very pleasant with sweet apple and pears with some nice grapefruit action going on – all in all a great cheap and cheerful glugger. (I like to watch shows when I’m drinking the same wine; i.e, drink merlot whilst watching your past episodes on merlot. It’s highly enjoyable! Anyway peace out and all that. Tom (UK’s biggest fan I must say).

Bring in more of those South African and Loire Chenins. They’re great.

i am still trying to replicate my 1st chenin blanc experience…pine ridge, 1987… ahh… to remember.. it is a great wine & doesn’t over power, if the choices include something strong and dry, i will opt for the tap water, however, this little jewel has kept me in the loop !

Last CB was on a tour at Chapellet Winery last fall. If I remember right it was their last vintage, they had torn out the CB and planted more Chardonnay.

Haven’t tried any Chenin Blanc at all, but I certainly will try it!
