I’ve never had a wine from this producer, whose wines you frequently review. Gotta find some! I am an unabashed Gewurz fan.

@Tom Casagrande, small producer, there is an East Coast importer (Delaware), Robert Panzer, and a West Coast importer (Bay Area), my brother. DM me if you want me to put you in touch with him. Small distribution in the Bay Area.

@Doug Powers probably a silly question, how’s does one DM on Delectable?

Eminence Sylvaner 2021

So, this is Agathe’s top cuvée of Sylvaner (which I’ve heard is one of her favorite grapes) grown in the Grand Cru “Zinnkoepfle” — the problem in Alsace is that Sylvaner is not considered a “noble” grape, and thus this wine is “Eminence” rather than identifying the vineyard site. With that said, spicy aromatics, floral and ripe white stonefruit aromas and flavors, great acid balance adds depth and complexity, super fine Alsatian Sylvaner!! — 4 months ago

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! — 8 days ago

Bollenberg Musagète Alsace Muscat 2022

This Vin Doux works well with some cherry pie, I’d guess this is 2% or so R.S., so still lovely Muscat, albeit with that little bit of sweetness, medium-long finish, very nice!! — 4 months ago
