Wine of the week: 2012 Dancing Coyote Clarksburg Chenin Blanc

For this cork dork, there's something special about chenin blanc. Maybe it's the combination of mouth-coating texture and crisp elegance. Or maybe it's just the deliciousness of bottles such as the 2012 Dancing Coyote Clarksburg Chenin Blanc ($15), with delightful green-apple and pear flavors. Either way, the floral aromas and clean, cool finish make this a swell patio quaffer. This fabulous cheese wine also should play well with most Asian dishes and a wide array of fruits of the sea. Rumor has it that the winery is discontinuing the wine, so pounce.
