Excellent show. Need to get those Ratt. My favorite Chenin So far was Baumard Savennierres (regular bottling, Clos du Papilon, Trie Speciale and especially Quarts the Chaume) and Huet’s.
Will be checking your pages more often.

When I drink a good bottle of wine it makes me want more.

I forgot. Tell Sam Zen that the word is spelled “heinous”, not the goofy way he tried. I shudder to think how he would have spelled “erudite”!

QOD: ….uberhappy

when i drink a good bottle it makes me contemplative

QOTD: it makes me smile!
Thanks for doing this episode. I’m going to try the bottle of Vouvray that I have in my cellar tonight. 🙂

qotd: makes me wanna buy a case of it
Gary nice episode, chenin is definitely one of the classic varietal’s you seem to hear about the least.
Another wine you never hear about is vin jaune. That would be a fun episode to see. Or one where you taste a bunch of the few charbono’s out there.

Have not had many Chenin Blancs, like a fully white wine. QOTD-I enjoy the mystery of not knowing when you open a bottle if it really will bring the thunder, and when it does, am sad when the bottle is empty. http://www.winelx.com
