Ken Forrester 2012 "Petit" Chenin Blanc, South Africa

Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (87)
Price: $12
KWG Score: 88.6
No. Professional Ratings: 3
# of Cases: 10,000
This entry level Chenin Blanc from South Africa is consistently a very nice offering. The 2012 is pale yellow colored and opens with a fragrant pear and pineapple like bouquet with a hint of banana. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, crisp and acidic. The flavor profile is a mineral infused Anjou pear with hints of green apple, white pepper, and tangerine. The finish is dry sand very refreshing. This wine would be nice by the pool on a hot day. I would pair it with Quiche Lorraine. Enjoy – Ken

Who is Ken?

Who is Ken and what is this website about? The concept of "Ken's Wine Buying Guide" originated in February 1998 with the first recorded "Ken's Boston Wine Expo Notes." These "notes" evolved dramatically from the original 15 wines Ken recommended to a 36+ page Microsoft Word document that was sent quarterly to friends and family as recently as the spring of 2006. Over the years many friends had suggested making "Ken's Wine Buying Guide" available online for those near and far to have easy access to it. In the summer of 2006, we began to create www.KensWineGuide.com, going live in the fall of 2006. To read more of the history of Ken's Wine Guide, click on About Us.
