State of the Vine

State of the Vine

Blue Plate: A Summertime White


This is the wine club white for July.


Blue Plate, Dry Chenin Blanc, 2011
Varietal, Region: Chenin Blanc, Clarksburg, CA
Price: about $20
Available at: Grateful Red
My Tasting Notes: Crisp and refreshing with hints of lemon and pear. Nice minerality. High Acidity but well balanced.
My Verdict: Perfect for red and rose drinkers who might need a break from the norm. Nice and light, too, and you won't wake up with that white wine hangover! 
Interesting Fact: South Africa is currently the largest producer of this grape.
