Alsace Pinot Blanc

The 2013 Cave de Turckheim Pinot Blanc, Alsace, is a lot like me, perhaps, misunderstood and underrated because many don't know what pinot blanc is. It's a mutation of pinot noir and a versatile white wine that you can pair with almost anything, even quiche. Given that, I decided to pair it with my dinner eggs, since eggs are my primary protein of choice these days. Alsatian Pinot Blanc is often described as "musky," but I don't get that at all on this wine. It's fermented and aged in stainless steel and contains a smidgen of auxerrois, which enhances the fruitiness and spiciness of this wine. Aromas and flavors run the gamut from citrus peel, to crisp apple, to white peach, with medium acidity and a creamy texture. Pair this with brunch fare like eggs, or with a wide range of foods like seafood, shellfish, salads, and soft cheeses. SRP $19. (sample)

$13 at Schneider's

God med bra smak och syra. Lätt kärnsmak.

Very quaffable. Apple and citrus.

Crisp. Nice for this early spring evening. Tastes like a soft musty sauv Blanc.

Fruity, flowers, yellow taste

Floral, pear aroma; pear flavour, hint of lemon, a little ginger, mineral finish. Low acidity; uncomplicated and easy to drink

V drinkable. Like a riesling. Bonus points for low price

Wine Society - Subtle flavour - fruity emergence......

Love it anytime, but might be their perfect white for fall. Nice acidity, lively. 12%
