About this Event
Chenin Blanc (pronounced SHEN-ihn blahnk), originated in the Loire Valley of France, a region that lies in the more northern part of the country where the climate is slightly cooler. It tends to like the same climates as sauvignon blanc, but is entirely its own style of wine. And that style can come in many varieties. Whereas most wines are either dry or sweet, Chenin Blanc comes in just about every attire imaginable. Very much like our local Finger Lakes Rieslings, you can find it in sparkling (crémant), dry (sec), semi-dry (demi-sec), and dessert wine sweet (moelleux) versions. It is all about where the vine is being grown, and when the grapes are picked. Extremely versatile with food, you’ll want to stock up on this one for the summer!
