Alsace, France
Yesterday’s Wednesday Wine Committee, hosted by @Jeff Meyer , was so educational with fantastic German & Austrian wines. 1 sparkler, 5 whites, 5 reds, 1 dessert wine. All served blind as usual.
So delicious. Almost Sauternes like. Plenty of orange marmalade and honeyed fruits, but there isn’t that distinct nuttiness/roasted nut characteristic. Lychee, twice baked peaches yet very light and nimble. Long finish. I actually guessed this Tokaji.

Personally I am not a fan of sweet wine, this is very nice but maybe for some people has a sweet tooth.
