Nice wine - had this with a pork stir fry and it went perfectly. Sweetness is not overwhelming at all

Excellent picnic wine, as well as for lots of other occasions. Time to buy more.

This may actually be my first off dry Chenin Blanc from Loire Valley. 11.5% alcohol. Ripe honeydew melon, green apple, and kiwi. Lovely minerality. An easy summer sipper.

Thin gold. Entrancing saccharine aroma of honey, pear, lychee and tropical blossoms, with a well balanced mineral. Tart, but with noticeable sugar as well, making for a pretty full mouthfeel like an inexpensive Riesling. As it warms up, tropical and floral notes develop in the palate. It's too much on its own--too much sweetness and a grabby lingering tartness, but this was nice with hibachi.
