During this time of year, there is nothing like a refreshing wine to cool you down. A white wine with a good balance of flavors can be exactly what you need. Chenin Blanc is a versatile grape originally from France but successfully grown in other countries. This wine can be found dry or very sweet depending on your taste. Chenin Blanc has a range of fresh fruit flavors such as apple to melons. Although this wine is sweet, it can be paired with salads, seafood, and white meats.
