Watching this a couple of days late – high school baseball season…gotta see the kid play. Enjoyed the show.

QOTD: Vouvray

Drinking the 2007 Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc from S. Afr. as we speak…

Have enjoyed Chenin Blanc and Thai food for some time. Works as an althernative to Riesling with the spices. Great job on the show, you are still bringing the thunder.

“a comment”

Never tried this wine .. will have to

QOTD: Goats Do Roam Chenin Blanc from South Africa…certainly a good value as pretty much all chenin blanc is. I’ve got some 2005 Nic Joly chenin from Sauvenieres (sp?) cellaring that I can’t wait to pop. Can I continue to watch???

Gary,

I also love the versatility of the Chenin. Great show. Maybe next time you could do three or four Chenins from the Loire to show how different they can be from that one area.

GV – I drink several different Chenin’s from Savenniere. I have a few left in my cellar, but I want them to age a bit more.

Like the CB.

Mott, Drink it up! QOTD: Vouvray last year. Used to drink a ton of CB in the 70’s when I was poor and it was plentiful and cheap. Thanks for reminding me.

I’m not sure if this really counts , but it was the Westerland Celebration. It is 50% Chenin Blanc and 50% Sauvignon Blanc.. A nice wine. Crisp with nice acidity, however I had this probably a few years back.. I dig the Wines that westerland produces though. They make a nice Pinotage.. Oh yeah.. They are South African wines..

Congrats on the book. I’ll be picking up a few copies soon.

Always love your show and I look forward to the book. Mostly a red wine lover here and I have to try chenin blanc again for serious consideration. Definitely will try all 3 bottles if I can find in Vermont. Looking forward to the testing!

I work part time at a wine shop called Cork in Dallas and we have 6 different CB now on a tasting station. My favorite has ben the CB from Pine Ridge.

last chenin blanc tasted Foxen 2005 ” ernesto’s vineyard”

I don’t think I have had much CB at all. I need to try some. Thanks GV!

A vouvray that I found at best cellars. Sweet with some body.

QOTD: It has been so long I can’t remember. Don’t see too much of it here in the Balkans.

Arniston Bay 2007 Chenin Blanc Chardonnay. Meh..

2007 Goosecross Cellers Chenin Blanc (Napy Valley).

My girlfriend and I were there for a tasting and she fell in love with it. Now anytime she sees the words Chenin Blanc on a bottle she gets all excited and wants to buy it.

I love Chenin Blanc ever since I had this Loire wine: Francois Chidaine Montlouis Clos Habert 2005. It rocked with Japanese-French fussion food.

Catching up on back episodes, end of the semester cram is so fun.

QOTD: I still have yet to try a chenin blanc, I’ll buy one sometime in the future.

GV – Just catching up on shows – hope I can see others! 🙂 QOTD – Just had the Dry Creek – me liked.

CB rocks and a lot of people will be thanking you for noticing. South Africa in particular is kicking out some killer Chenins. If anyone out there happens upon Vinum Chenin Blanc from the Winery of Good Hope in South Africa grab a bottle – superb value and one of our favorites from one of our favorite outfits! Cheers!

Last Chenin Blanc was a Vouvray, but it wasn’t much to speak of. I really need to renew my friendship with this grape, thanks for the great show!

QOTD: Funny, the Dry Creek Chenin Blanc was my last when I was up at the winery last month.

QOTD: The last Chenin Blanc I tasted was a sparkling one you recommended – but I cannot for the life of me remember the name or even the region. It was quite awhile ago, I guess. 🙁

The last Chenin Blanc that I tasted (consumed) was Vinum Cellars Chard-no-way, which was very fresh and so clean clean. But recently I have been into vinoger chenin blanc blends. Pine Ridge makes a good one, buts thats about all from that grape I have had lately.
