Great Value: 2009 Dry Chenin Blanc from Dry Creek Vineyard

Are you looking for a dry white wine that offers great value, easily pairs with just about anything, and satisfies a multitude of palates?

Look no further than this 2009 Dry Chenin Blanc from Dry Creek Vineyards.

The Aromas

Fabulous tropical fruit aromas with a honeysuckle teaser.

The Taste

This 2009 Chenin Blanc is a tropical paradise… Citrus, pineapple, and an entire tropical island jam-packed into a pleasant bottle of wine.

Just kidding about the tropical island part… but these flavors do resonate throughout the palate along with reminders of freshly picked apricots and even a slightly nutty trace. There’s an interesting zip at the end, a bit of spice perhaps.

If you despise oaked and sweet wines, you’ll enjoy this wine, the antithesis of everything you find wrong in the wine world.

The Pairings

A fabulous Thai curry, spices, and dare I suggest… some types of Mexican food (¡fish tacos!).

But the perfect pairing with this 2009 Dry Chenin Blanc from Dry Creek Vineyard? Fresh oysters.

The Price

$12. Do you love me yet?

Wait, there’s more! It comes with a screw cap.

A votre santé.
