108 A Wine for All Seasons - Chenin Blanc/Dom. Aux Moines, Savennières - Roche Aux Moines 2020

The Long Finish - A Wine Podcast

This week is all about Chenin Blanc, one of Kathryn and Tug’s favorite varietals. The hosts discuss the versatility of this grape varietal, where it grows and why it pairs so well with food. Arguably the most classic version of Chenin comes from Savennières, the origin of the wine this week. On a personal note, the hosts have been dealing with a trip to the ER and multiple doctor visits. Warning: the hosts discuss multiple dirty diaper incidents that may or may not pair with wine. Tug goes to a Dodger Game and Kathryn has her nose in a book. The Wine of the Week is the Domaine Aux Moines, Savennières - Roche Aux Moines, Loire Valley, France 2020.
