Spätburgunder Riesling? — 5 years ago
Last night was the Confrerie St. Etienne Spring dinner. It was my first time attending. This is a chapter of the original group out of Alsace, France, and is the only chapter here in the US...just happens to be in my neck of the woods! Great introduction to Alsace wines.
Kind of surprised at the reviews here for this wine. Maybe people rated the wrong one? This grand cru Riesling was paired with a Chilean sea bass and both were excellent. Not a lot of petrol on the nose, but it checked off most Riesling notes of honeycomb, pear and had that lovely sweet and quick finish on the palate. — 7 years ago
Acidic but not sharp, sweet grapefruit and green apple with a hint of green bell pepper — 9 years ago
Too floral for me — 3 years ago
Minerals and subtle acidity... must go with some seafood — 7 years ago

No words for this. So many layers, acid and sucrosité in perfect balance. — 9 years ago
Excellent Riesling. I was told the mountains on both sides keep the clouds away and lead to almost uninterrupted sunlight shining down on the grapes. — 5 years ago
