    It’s been many years since I had my last Chenin Blanc. It was a great transition wine for me when I was moving from sangria and mateus rose to the great dry wines of the world.
    QOTD: Vouvray, of course.

  • Chenin blanc KICKS.

    QOTD: Francois Chidaine Vouvray le Bouchet 2005 – fantastic.

    BTW: When you gt into single-cask Scotches from different years, and they start to get a lot more interesting and different… and Ardbeg from distilled in the 70s is *not* the same as a Ardbeg from the 80s, etc.
