2014 Waitsburg Cellars Cheninières

We are always on a lookout for good Chenin Blanc wines to try and my husband found this one at a local package store. It was a 2014 Waitsburg Cellars Cheninières dubbed, "The Aromatics". A few weekends ago, our son Brett and his wife, Laura flew in from Seattle, Washington on a red-eye flight to spend the weekend in Stonington, attending their friend's wedding. On the first night that they were here, after going to wedding ceremony Part 1, and coming back sans dinner, and looking for all the world, like Sleepless from Seattle, my husband made a succulent fresh clam linguine dinner for the 4 of us. This wine, from their backyard in Waitsburg, Washington, was the accompanying potent potable. We liked the acidity of this wine which complimented the richness of the clam linguine.
On the Internet, I learned that the winemaker, Paul Gregutt has served as the Northwest regional editor and reviewer for Wine Enthusiast magazine since 1998, and wrote the “Wine Adviser” column in The Seattle Times from 2002 until April of this year. His book, Washington Wines and Wineries: The Essential Guide, is considered a definitive resource.
That same article, explains that the name Cheninières, is a play on Savennières, the great Chenin Blanc–producing region of Loire Valley in France. Paul Gregutt also makes another Chenin Blanc called Chevray, a clever reference to Vouvray, another great Chenin Blanc-producing region in Loire, that makes one of our favorite Chenins, The (italics, mine) Domaine Huet.
We need to revisit this Cheninières and try the Waitsburg Cellars Chevray as well.
