I am always looking for new wines for you to try. I feel like it is my duty to try as many wines as I can, so I can steer you guys to the good ones.
Anyway, I have a new one for you to try. It’s from one of my very favorite wineries, it’s a Chenin Blanc (you don’t see too many Chenin Blancs anymore), and it’s light and fruity, a little sweet, but not too sweet. It was the perfect pairing for the Pear Salad below and the ladies at the book club meeting drank it all up! Don’t worry, I’ll pick up a few bottles when I’m in Walla Walla later this month, as well as several more wines to try for you.
If you can find this at your local wine purveyor, buy it! It’s inexpensive and will make a great summer wine to sip with all the great salads you make over the summer…
Happy Sipping!

I don’t drink wine..but the bottles sure are little works of art aren’t they?! Have a great weekend! 😀
mmmm … i would love a glass of white … i havent had a chenin blanc for years but it used to be a fave …
You are so sweet to think about us instead of yourself..lol
How funny of a post..I wonder if I could find this wine in my part of the world…maybe that is what I need for this ole body of mine…
I am not healing as fast as I want to be and this morning I feel like I was in a train wreck.
Thank you so much for leaving me get well wishes. Your pear salad looks delicious too
You need to do a story for my Blogazine so everyone can get to know you
Love
Maggie
Hi Maggie,
If you can’t find this wine in your neck of the woods, just let me know and I’ll keep testing until we find one that works for you!
I’d love to be a part of your Blogazine sometime, your blog is so much fun..
xxoo…
So glad you enjoyed the Chenin Blanc and glad to hear you will be stopping by soon! We have a fantastic library tasting/production tour on Friday afternoons at 2pm. You can find details on our website or shoot me an email at jaime@lecole.com. Sorry to leave this in comments, but I couldn’t find your e-mail.

Hi Jaime,
Thanks for stopping by. I went to Walla Walla for the first time last year. Typically, I try and make a trip or two to CA or WA or OR for wine tastings every year. I liked Walla Walla so much, though, that I had to add it to the rotation, and, in fact, put it at the top of the rotation and come back this year. It’s such a cool little town, great restaurants, nice people. I’ll be in town sometime during the last week of May, and you guys are on the very top of my list. Thanks for the heads up about Fridays, I’ll try to work it so I’m there on a Friday…
Is it gluten free? I need to find some new gluten free wines.
I’ll leave the research to you and I will be the tester (if you say gluten free, don’t want to end up sick)
I say let the testing begin!
LOL you are too kind! 😉 I feel the same way about food 😛
