Drinking Pine Ridge 2011 Chenin Blanc + viognier. It is a bit bubbly. I’m not sure this is supposed to be bubbly. I do taste the apple pear. What are you guys drinking tonight?

Hi Lisa! I just opened this wine a few days ago. It has always been one of my favorites (and still is). It is not supposed to be bubbly. I noticed that the wine seems to have become sweeter over the years. Was there any residual sugar in your wine? If not, perhaps it was doing a little unintended secondary fermentation. I love the addition of Chenin Blanc to Viognier, it adds such a great acidity and burst of citrus fruit. I think Pine Ridge is on to something and it should be done this way more often. Loved the website!
