Heerlijke zoete wijn. — 10 months ago

There’s depth and “cut” to it that invites more comparisons to its Burgundy cousins than its German ones, so give it 30 minutes or so in a decanter before diving in: Serve it at a cool 60 degrees in Burgundy stems and you’ve got one of the most versatile reds for food one could possibly ask for. This will sing with a wide range of proteins, from salmon all the way up to beef, but I can’t resist an old-school Alsatian pairing—tarte flambée. Smoky bacon, creamy cheese, crisp crust…that’ll work for me! Enjoy! — 3 years ago

Vintage 2018 | beautiful bitters! That Sylvaner can be so appetizing… paired with halibut and truffle, and than chicken with peas and carrots. Best with fish. — 5 months ago

Saline, mineral, and plenty of length. Still tightly coiled at this stage. Restrained nose. Kuentz-Bas does fermentation and aging in stainless steel for their grand crus. Really comes through in the wine. It’s like the Louis Michel of Alsace. — 3 years ago

Nice starter Riesling for people who don’t like Riesling. Needed either more acid or more minerality to balance out the body. Pleasant white fruit and gentle floral flavors. — 3 years ago

Surprisingly sweet. Not a sweet wine though. Rich and full and sweet. Nice and clean. — 4 years ago

White peach and apricot. It’s getting more expensive as quality wine typically does.

Great pop n pour. — 7 months ago

Beautiful golden color. Intense fruit on the nose followed by the same on the palate-lychee pear melon honey. Touch of sugar. A great Alsace Gewurtztraminer!! — 3 years ago

Smoking good. Super lifted, classic rose / lychee aromatics. Fat and round on the palate, with a musky leesiness on the finish. Held up amazingly well over 3 nights. As good an Alsatian GWZ that I've been fortunate to try. — 4 years ago
