ORIGINAL: grafstrb Do we have an audience for Chenin here? ... spirited discussion elsewhere suggests we do! I thought it would be fun to have an ongoing discussion here --- Chenin is worthy of its own thread. So, who's a fan? Why? How did you come into Chenin? --- it's not exactly as ubiquitous as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc. What do you love (or hate!) about it? Particular food pairings where Chenin kills it? Interesting, I just checked my cellar report: I have thirty-eight different "master varieties" in my cellar, and not one bottle of Chenin Blanc! Aside from maybe sparkling, it is never really spoken to me (I only know the Loire, not the SA). Out of curiosity, are you mostly speaking about the off-dry from the Loire, or what type do you mostly go for? Well, I'm interested in talking about Chenin in all of its forms from every corner of the world. As for myself, I tend towards the dry versions from the Loire. Thanks, Graf. Not sure I've had a dry one. Loire is easy to get here -- do you have a suggestion for what to try?
