I'm drinking a glass of this right now and it's fantastic

It really is a great white wine, and very versatile. Thanks for the comment.

Stan I regret to inform you. I have yet to taste a chenin blanc. I know! I gotta get on it. Sounds like it is my style of wine

[@StanReitanStanTheWineMan]

If you get the right one, you will be impressed. Thanks for watching.

Vouvray is my favorite wine. A wine of complexity and contradictions, but in a good way. Acidic and sweet, light bodied but often buttery, fruity and aromatic yet good minerality. I enjoyed your show, but I must know...what is the name of the French person who hurt you so bad that you butcher their language?

[@StanReitanStanTheWineMan]

You are funny! I try my hardest to say the words correctly. I am constantly on Forvo to get it right, but I fail on a regular basis. I even ask my wife who speaks a bit of French. Anyway, I hope it doesn't stop you from enjoying the episodes. Thanks for the comment.

Yes indeed, nice work!

[@myles1428mjc]

[@StanReitanStanTheWineMan]

Absolutely right. They do a ton of that varietal in SA. Cheers!
