2008 Trader Joe's Chenin Blanc - $4.99

Green apple on the nose. Nice weight and body in the mouth, but a bit hot on the finish. Don't recall the taste too much, but it wasn't offensive, and that's as much as I hope for these days from wines made from organic grapes. I approve for now, but I'm getting another bottle to double check myself.

thumbs up - 75

  2. Haven't tried that second bottle yet, but at $5, this is definitely worth a shot if you can find it.

  3. It is just an easy-going, no-brainer white. The lovely golden yellow hue is a sunny introduction to all of the summer fruit sensations you get with this wine, beginning with the sweet bosc pear and melon on the nose. It seems pretty fresh and light and crisp at first but rounds out with lush tropical fruit, bright apple and a touch of honey on the palate. You could serve this with shellfish for a great match, but tonight I'm enjoying it with a grilled vegetable salad.I like to drink wine with my Cuban cigars.I buy my Cigars Online.
