AS PER USUAL, A FNE WINE, EXCELLENT IN ALL FACTIONS OF TASTE, COMPATIBILITY WITH FOODS. JUST A GREAT WINE TO SIT AND SIP..........: )
I served it with my Christmas ham dinner and it was perfect! This is a must have again. thank you.
We haven't tried all the wines yet, but we are very impressed with what we have tried. Usuallly a chenin blanc is not one of our favorites, but this one went over very well. Thanks so much!

I like a good Chenin Blanc as one of my favorite wines. This one did not quite live up to my expectations, as I like a hint more fruity flavor
A touch sweet for a chenin blanc...
-
Excellent with seafood
best chenin blanc i have had
very mild.easy to drink and goes well with everything.
This is one of the best Chenin Blanc I have had. It goes perfectly with almost every fish dish as well as chicken dish I have made. I really enjoyed it.
I like what I call soft white and this wine was very pleasing.
-
Light with a little bite to it.
I thought it was too sweet. Also to remind you did not send the Sunset Wine Tote you promised when I order.
Smooth-not too sweet
Iusually prefer sweeter wines, this has a nice light taste
this wine is good with anything- or by its self.
-
I loved this and don't usually like white (too sweet) - pear flavors are lovely and it's light, not overly spicy, could pair with subtle flavors
very smooth- this wine didn't last for a second dinner- very enjoyable
was okay, would buy again, but nothing outstanding
This wine is perfect for relaxing with friends, would go for again.
Excellent wine, crisp, very tastey

I have never had Chenin Blanc before . . . this wine was delicious . . . I only wished I was enjoying it on a summer picnic instead of a cold Colorado evening . . . I will definitely purchase this wine in the future.
Great for a summer sipper on a hot day.

I didn't have with suggested food, and it took a couple of tastes to warm up to. There was more of a citrus taste than pear.

Fruity - nice and smooth
The taste of pear, citrus and buttery overtones made this the perfect wine paired with baked 'rock fish' and also inspired me to 'write and rate' this one. Exceptional quality!

Too rough

This wine was soooo very yummy. We enjoyed it before and with a meal of pork chops, applesauce, baked potatoes and green beans. I'm really becoming a white wine fan thanks to wines like this.
