Lutzeltal Sylvaner 2020

Lovely spicy aromatics where the spice note carries onto the palate, great Sylvaner is so darn good, and Agathe makes this and also her “Eminence” from fruit grown on the Grand Cru “Zinnkoepfle”, both of which are excellent, year-in, year-out, long finish, very fine!! — 2 months ago

Love it when someone puts real effort into to Sylvaner.

Parad' Aux Alsace Pinot Blanc 2021

Spice, mineral, starting to take on some roundness, but retains its great balancing acidity, I have a long-term fondness for Alsatian Pinot Blanc, this has definitely improved since last bottle I opened, very hood! — 7 months ago

Bollenberg Alsace Riesling 2022

Faint petrol/diesel aromas, floral and white stonefruit aromas and flavors dominate, very youthful and primary, very good acid, this also needs further aging, very nice Alsatian Riesling!! — 9 months ago

Bollenberg Alsace Muscat 2022

Very floral, white stonefruits as well, moderately rich (13%), but technically dry, I just love Agathe’s dry Muscat, and very glad I have a LOT more, such an easy drinker/sipper, especially in the summer heat!! — a month ago

Domaine du Chaillot

Sainte Agathe Tressallier 2023

Tressailler aka Sacy is a vine which was praised 3 or 4 centuries ago, given the ability of the wine to travel long distances (not becoming vinegar on the way) thanks to its natural level of acidity. Acidity is kept under control for this one, with all its character and flavours blending into a perfect balance. — 3 months ago

Eminence Sylvaner 2021

Just a lovely, complex Sylvaner, great acidity, some nice slight honeyed notes to the layered fruit, even though this cannot have Grand Cru on the label because the grape is Sylvaner, the juice is from fruit grown on Zinnkoepfle, a Grand Cru vineyard that Agathe farms. — 4 months ago

Sylvaner is one of the few “second tier” varieties that sometimes gives me a thrill. (I’ve yet to taste an Aligote that had that effect on me, for instance.)

@Tom Casagrande, she makes another Sylvaner from another Alsatian vineyard that is quite good, but not at this level. I have read that she loves Sylvaner, having grown up eating berries while helping her grandparents tend the Zinnkoepfle Grand Cru vineyard!!

Strangenberg Pinot Noir 2020

Floral, red fruits, still a bit structured and tannic, lovely balance, long, lingering finish, needs further cellaring, should work great with grilled wild Puget Sound salmon!! — a month ago

Nice! Haven’t had an Alsace Muscat since the 20th Century! I need to change that.

@Ira Schwartz, I realized last night that there is no DM functionality, sorry @Tom Casagrande about that.
