Wine Review: This pale straw-colored wine from Alsace, while labeled Pinot Blanc is mainly made from Pinot Auxerrois. Regardless, it is very good! It opens with a pleasant honeysuckle and green apple bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and very nicely balanced between its acidity and fruit. The flavor profile is a tasty lime and lemon blend with notes of very nicely integrated minerality. I also detected hints of faint grapefruit and a dash of white pepper towards the end. The finish is dry and its acidity and flavors drift away nicely. This white wine is very food friendly and would pair perfectly with grilled swordfish this summer. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Pale yellow with green reflections and rich concentrated aromas of white flower and apricot notes. Smooth, medium bodied with good fruit acidity. Pairs well with light meals such as salads, chicken, roast pork and seafood.
