KWV Chenin Blanc

July 22nd, 2008 Sean Posted in Chenin Blanc, South Africa No Comments »

This wine gets it high score for two main reasons. 1. Value 2. It’s not Chardonnay! Whoa, hold your angry emails until you read the rest. As we’ve stated many times sometimes you want a white wine that doesn’t carry the typical big bad Chardonnay character, overwhelming your meal at every sip.
This dark horse out of Sourth Africa is a very pleasant, easy drinking white on a hot summer day. Excellent fruit and floral balance. Clean and crisp on the palate and amiable to most foods. So far this summer it has become the white house wine, and at under $10 a bottle, how can you go wrong?
Tip: Keep and eye out for value priced South African white wines - you’ll be pleasantly surprised (most of the time)

Bogle Chenin Blanc 2006

January 1st, 2008 Archive Posted in Chenin Blanc, USA No Comments »

From the wine maker www.boglewinery.com
Abundant spring flowers and floral blossoms burst forth on the nose of this fresh white wine. Crisp and refreshing, this fruit basket boasts brilliant flavors of green apple and tropical touches of pineapple. Though crisp and bright, this wine does have a softer side: honeydew melons and apricots add a sweet lusciousness from mid-palate to the soft and silky finish.
$12.95
