Pine Ridge - Chenin Blanc/Viognier - California - 2009 - (Food Wine, Classic) - $14 - A pale, platinum wine with flecks of green and gas present. Aromas of ripe pear, lychee, grapefruit pith, cut apples and kaffir lime leaf. Flavors of ripe fruit salad of afformentioned fruits and a crackling, mouth-watering layer of acidity. This wine has a medium+ to long finish, moderate-low alcohol and medium- body. Great with slightly sweet shellfish and spicy Thai!
Thank you for exploring my wine list with me. Below you'll find only wines I recommend very highly. I don't use scores, but I do catagorize wines as styles: (Agers, Food Wines, Stand Alones, Celebratory Wines, Showpieces, Classics, Moderns). I also offer food pairings as well as glimpses into what I've enjoyed with what. I hope this helps in some small way to increase your enjoyment of wine and food.
About Me
- Eric C. Maczko
- I've been part of Pine Ridge Winery's Culinary Staff for 7 years. In 2003 I took over the Executive Chef Position and have been pairing food and wine together in a creative environment every day since. I am a Certified Sommelier through The Court of Master Sommeliers and hope to gain my Advanced in the coming year. My love of wine, food and literature are the fuel behind this little site and sharing my experience is my gift. Each year I take a little time to craft my own wine, so as to humble myself. It is a pleasure to sample the hard work and dedication of these so many talented wine professionals.
