Basin
Chenin Blanc · Basin St · Storyville
Formerly Storyville Blue. Holding two things at once.
Basin Street was the edge of Storyville, the district where, from 1897 to 1917, Black musicians turned nightwork into jazz and sent it out to the world. The blues came off Basin Street. Chenin is that in-between wine — neither fully sweet nor dry, holding two things at once.
Tasting NoteQuince, ripe pear, chamomile, a wet-stone minerality; off-dry with racy acidity.
