Review: Breaux Vineyards Jennifer's Jambalaya
Wine: 2008 Breaux Vineyards Jennifer's Jambalaya
Review: I am a big fan of Jennifer Breaux. I think she and her staff do a great job of maintaining the tasting room, keeping guests happy, and dealing with the crush of people who flood Breaux on the weekends. I am obviously not the only one who feels this way. Whenever I am out there she is always surrounded by customers who want to bend her ear to tell her about their day, their experience at Breaux, or just chat and she always makes time for them.
The work that Jen does is a large reason why Breaux is one of the largest wineries in Virginia and a favorite destination for many. So, it is very fitting that they finally named a wine after her. Jennifer's Jambalaya is a blend of seven different whites. I've tried to get a list of the seven varietals, but everyone has been mum on that. The blending makes for a sweet wine, but not too sweet; very floral with hints of honeysuckle. Its definitely a good summer wine, and it pairs really well with cajun and thai food (and yes, it is a good match with Jambalaya).
Price: $18
Grade: 95

I'm a big fan of Jennifer and Breaux as well. A first class vineyard and winery that is a leader in Virginia (both in customer service and wine). I have not tried the white blend yet, but will include this on my list for my next visit. Cheers!
