Quick Review
Just to prove that I do drink non-locals, I want to talk about a lovely cost effective wine we picked up.
From Alsace we present W. Gisselbrecht Pinot Blanc. Under $13 it rates as a bargain.
We had it with schnitzel and garlic mashed potatoes and it just went so well.
If you are not familiar with Alsatian wine, treat the wine like a Riesling as it is similar in style to the good German ones, but drier.
The wine had a wonderful floral nose and was soo inviting.
The taste was lighter than those big Alsatian whites but bigger than most New World Pinot Blancs. It was round and unctuous, I really liked it. Very fruity,
So if you are in Vintages give it a try. If you like the Alsatian style this is a wonderful entry into this world.
