About the Winery
Beringer’s founder Jacob Beringer sailed from Mainz, Germany to New York in 1868. He would later head west and become the cellar foreman for Charles Krug in 1869. It wasn’t until 1875 when he and his brother Frederick would purchase 215 acres of land in the Napa Valley. In 1876 Beringer wines was born, with Jacob producing 18,000 cases of wine in their first year. In 1915 Jacob would pass away and his children Charles and Bertha would take over. Currently Mark Beringer is the Chief Winemaker (Jacob’s great, great grandson.)
Tobin’s Review 2.5 out of 5
Beringer Main & Vine Chenin Blanc is fairly clear with a little citrus on the nose. The wine is soft with a hint of sweetness and slight notes of lemon. Overall it’s not terrible, as its drinkable…. but it’s kind of sweet. I prefer a more flavorful Chenin Blanc that has a crisp or dry finish; both of which this wine lacks.
