2014 Paumanok Minimalist Chenin Blanc

My husband alerted me to an article in the New York Times about Chenin Blanc Makes an Audacious U.S. Return. The article begins with the saga of Chenin Blanc grown in California used to make inexpensive, sweet white wine, and ends with Chenin Blanc redeeming itself in the hands of the Massoud Family of Paumanok Vineyards located on Long Island and others. We are very familiar with the Chenin Blanc from Paumanok, including the Minimalist that is mentioned in the article. The Massouds make delicious Chenin Blanc that pairs well with local seafood such as oysters.
