($33). With gorgeous, lush
apricot and peach aromas and flavors laced
with mineral and tangerine, and mouthwatering
acidity that lingered through the long
finish, we savored every sip. Ready to
drink now and over the next two or three
years. We paired it with a romaine salad
topped with smoky bacon, blue cheese and
a sunny side up egg -- kind of a variation
on the frisee, lardons, poached egg classic
-- with delicious results. (Picks &
Nibbles 01/08)
($21). Apricot and peach fruit mingle
with ground ginger, spice and honey for
powerful, rich, depth of flavor. An appealing
mineral note emerges on the finish. Intense
and very good. Ready to drink now. (Weekend
Wine, 01/03)
($27). This may be my favorite wine from
this article. It is elegant and crisp,
with tastes of fresh apricot, green apple,
and lime. Absolutely dry with good structure
and a solid finish. Excellent now, and
will age nicely for the next four or five
years. (Skinny Guide to French Wine --
The Wines of Alsace)
($20). Flamboyant, with
ripe apricot, litchi, orange peel and
spice. Lush finish with just a touch of
honeyed sweetness. Lively acidity adds
balance. Good with food. Ready to drink
now. (Weekend Wine, 01/03)
($20). A medium-bodied
version of an Alsace Pinot Gris, but typical
in all other ways. Low acidity, soft orchard
fruits, buttery, floral bouquet. Ready
now. (Skinny Guide to French Wine -- The
Wines of Alsace)
($18). Racy citrus and nectarine pick
up candied citrus peel and marzipan through
the full finish. Ready to drink now. (Robyn's

($17). Luscious nectarine, apricot,
florals, and spice combine to make yet
another winning wine from Meyer-Fonne,
one of Alsace's best. Just off-dry and

(Skinny Guide to French Wine -- The
Wines of Alsace)

Very good now, and should age for at
least another three years. (Skinny Guide

and citrus flavors. Can you say refreshing?
Ready now. (Skinny Guide to French Wine
-- The Wines of Alsace)

500 ml). Wow. Honeyed peaches, racy

good! (Skinny Guide to French Wine --
The Wines of Alsace)

spicy notes gracing a clean citrusy core.
