On February 20^th I shared with you my thoughts on the 2007 Pine Ridge Winery 80% Chenin Blanc and 20% Viognier blended white wine.  I said that this blended white wine tasted nearly flawless to me.  

I’ve recently started drinking the 2008 version, and I have to say that it might be even better than the 2007.  This wine is just perfectly blended together.  It has a great crispness to it and great citrus flavors.  It’s made in a very “French” sort of way.

If you didn’t know beforehand that this wine was made in California, you might swear it was a French white wine.  I’ve shared the 2007 and the 2008 versions with all sorts of wine lovers in my life and they all say the same thing, “What is this? It’s really good!”

The Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc-Viognier blend from California is quickly becoming one of my favorite “house” white wines.  And with warmer weather right around the corner, this wine is awesome with salads, grilled fishes, and chicken.

I give the 2008 Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc-Viogner 4 Stars!  It’s just as good if not better than the 2007.  This wine is awesome – it’s a real crowd- pleaser and a terrific value at $11.50 a bottle.  Pick up a bottle and try it for yourself this summer.
