Dan Berger’s Vintage Experiences – WINE OF THE WEEK
“Bright melon and pear fruit, a succulent entry and relatively dry finish. Yet another stunning example of Chenin Blanc (yet one more underrated wine) that annually delivers perfect summer sipping along with being a nice accompaniment to Thai or Indian cuisines.”

Chenin Blanc is serious business at Dry Creek Vineyard. Since 1972, this crisp and refreshing white wine has played an important role at our winery. Each vintage brings about a renewed appeal for this delicious variety and 2007 is no different. Aromas of honeysuckle, banana, orange peel and tropical fruit burst forward on the nose. The palate is defined by vibrant flavors of green apple, citrus, and melon that mingle with crisp acidity. The finish is harmonious, repeating the tropical fruit theme. Paired with oysters, our dry Chenin Blanc is a match made in heaven!
