I was in South Africa a couple of months ago and visited the Cederberg winery. It had the best lineup of wines of all the vineyards we went to and was in a ridiculously beautiful place as well. If you’re ever in S. Africa you must go! We enjoyed the Chenin Blanc, but the Cab and Shiraz brought even more thunder.

QOTD: Went to a Loire tasting a couple of weeks ago and had a few Chenin’s from Le Rocher des Violette. Great juice.

Book sales brisk? Hope so you nut. Placed order for 2 copies. My wino friend will love it.

Loving the chenin for some time. Milton Sandford & Direct wines in the UK list some cool and funky line of this juice.

Great show Gary!

Chappellet used to make a kick ass chenin. Unfortunately it has gone the way of the dodo in their line up. What’s great about this varietal is its ability to age. Tasty stuff!

QOTD: Ummm…. Ummm….Guess I’ll have to pick one up!

For something different in the scotch world: Talisker Distiller’s edition. Big smokey peat-lovin’ bada@@ness. 🙂

a domaine brunet vouvray. before that probably savennieres roche aux moines. they are hard to find here in canada.

Never had Chenin Blanc before. So many things to try, so little time.

I need to try Chenin Blanc, haven’t yet.

P.S. Look out for the Vikings in 2008!

Can’t say I’ve had one yet. It’s on the to-do list though.

I’ve never tried Chenin Blanc but will give the Ceder a whirl.

Hey Gary – I’m a lurker AND I buy books, just put your book in my cart. Can’t wait for it to go from NP (not yet published) to AVAILABLE! And may it quickly go OS (out of stock) as it hits the best seller list!

What up with my little pony?

Two items for you Gary: (1) Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc – Viognier blend is terrific; I’ll bet you had it and like it too! (2) Congratulations on your book. I think that’s great. You have so much energy. Just read a book by Touhill (Commercialization of Innovative Technologies) that is absolutely the best business book I’ve ever read. Don’t be put off by the techie title. It’s very readable and entertaining.

Domaine Des Baumard Quarts De Chaume 2002 – YUM!

Great show!!!

Learned to love Chenin. will try these. Learned to love Riesling also. heck, I ‘m learning a lot with Gary making me try things.

2nd comment. browser thing.
Chenin Blanc I had last – 2 weeks ago. Not bad.

pacific rim chenin blanc

QOTD: Never had any….but I just went out and got a bottle of the Cederberg!

All right Gary – you’ve convinced me to give C.B. another shot. I’ve had a couple of bottles in the past that didn’t do much for me, but I’ve thrown these 3 bottles into my wish list to try during my next visit to W.L.

Just bought my second bottle of Kyra Chenin Blanc from Washington. Really, really nice.

I bought the book! Good luck with it GV and Congratulations. Hope to see you book signing in Houston soon!

Chenin Blanc is my favored white…always a good value!!!great show

responding to terryp1’s comment on youtube.com: terryp1 lol that was gary..wtf….that’s weird..
honestly, i would rather have a more traditional style host… your obviously out of place watching wine l.tv. why don’t you go back to your little hole and watch jancis robinson instead. Gary ends every show with his famous quote “we are changing the wine world” for the snobby “traditional” people like you. you don’t belong here. please move on!!!!
Gary I loved seeing you at the draft, looked like allot of fun. this is the reason you are successful….your passionate about everything you do!!! keep it up!!! I’m sure that I’m speaking for allot of people on this! thanks for being yourself.
