Have you thought seriously about Chenin Blanc? Don't bother replying, I already know the answer--plus, I can't hear you I'm not blogging live you know. Of course you haven't thought about Chenin Blanc and why should you? It was never one the varietals that dominated new world wines. And when it does show up it becomes obvious the wine makers haven't settled on a style, resulting in someone finally trying a Chenin Blanc and they don't happen to like it that particular bottle they then decide that they don't like the grape. Which is totally unfair to the grape not to mention that it makes my job harder. Because Chenin Blanc can make fantastic wines in a bewildering number of styles. Case in point, Husch Chenin Blanc. it's off-dry which means that they leave in enough sugar to bring out the fruit flavors and give a nice heavy mouth feel but not enough to taste sweet. The lemon zest flavors play with honeydew notes making it a very refreshing and full flavored Summer wine.
