Domaine Roland Schmitt Alsace Pinot Gris - 2006 - 9.2 - James Meléndez / Jaime Patricio Meléndez

February 26, 2008

A brilliantly clean, remarkable acid; this wine exhibits pleasing floral packets that deliver and consistently, wondrous baking spice, blood orange zest, and sliced green apple.  A wonderfully complex wine that could be a stand-alone wine or perfect with your starting dishes.

 ¡Salud!

Jean Philippe & Francois Becker Riesling Grand Cru Froehn Alsace - 8.7 - James Meléndez / Jaime Patricio Meléndez

July 9, 2007

This Alsatian Riesling is low in alcohol (12.0%) and a generous amount of acid. Think food with this wine and I think you will enjoy it more than if this is served as a stand-alone wine. Dried apricot, Ranier cherry, tart green apple, and freshly mowed lawn.

Price at Tasting - $18.99 (K&L Wine Merchants)
