New year's day bubbles, and beautiful too at roughly a decade old. Poached pear, ginger, cheese rind and crushed rocks. Still persistent, fine bead. Delicious. #cheninagins🍐⛏️🤤 — 6 years ago

Nice little entry point to this category for a steal. Well balanced and sure to improve over the next couple years. Good one K&L. #cheninagins — 8 years ago

Ah yes, some delicious sandy-soiled Chenin Blanc for Saturday date-night dinner. My wife's ham loaf calls for fruit and acid, and the Arena delivers in spades! Just a touch of sweetness, a little savory, and I love the texture as well. #cheninagins — 10 years ago

Mouthwatering, wooly young Chenin with crazy minerality. But too young at the moment. Gotta sacrifice some though, yeah? Love Chidaine. #vinfanticide #cheninagins — 7 years ago

Oh Chenin. Why are you so delicious and versatile? Tiny, little prickly bubbles. Bruised apple, chervil, limestone. #cheninagins — 8 years ago

…

Sometimes you just gotta open 'em young. This was super complex and on the drier side of demi-sec. Crushed it with curry. #cheninagins — 9 years ago

Young Savennières that is very open and forward. No lack of Chenin funkiness or the schistose feel of this appellation, just unexpectedly approachable. In a good way. #cheninagins — 9 years ago

Opening up beautifully (too cold in the beginning). Sexy persistence and length with a finish that I think I'll still be enjoying tomorrow... #cheninagins — 10 years ago

Good value but not deeply Chenin. Fresh and fruit forward, hint of RS. Pretty big, ripe style. Worked nicely with a spicy peanut stew. Solid weeknight quaffer. #cheninagins — 7 years ago

This was just a touch over the hill, to my surprise. However it was still a lovely, nutty / tawny take on botrytized Chenin with good complexity & food-friendliness. Almost drank like PX. #cheninagins — 8 years ago

Silly good and the price makes it that much better. Nails that curious quinine note that I find in good Chenin pétillant. #cheninagins #pétnasty — 9 years ago

This really fleshed out after a summer's slumber! Delicious stone fruits, white flowers, sweet corn milk, and loam. Thanks @Brian Newberry #hellachenin #cheninagins — 10 years ago
