Vinum Cellars Clarksburg CNW Wilson Vineyards Chenin Blanc 2006
From the ABC crowd at Vinum, these guys are willing to bet on the ‘other grapes’. Barrel fermented and aged 6 months in oak for complexity yet the bracing side of Chenin shines through. P&B in Oakville 13% $8.49 at Bottle Barn Vinum
Husch Mendocino Chenin Blanc 2006
This wine has been a consistent delight with seafood on the spicy side; it’s rounded, tasting of tropical fruits. RS of 1.4% is delightfully apparent. GP&B in Ukiah 13.8% $9.99 at Traverso’s Husch
