The Alsatians have a great thing going when it comes to food and drink. The merging of French and…read moreGerman eats and beverages make for some great product. Weinbach's Cuvee St Catherine Schlossberg is a grand cru riesling you'll find on the menus of Mini Bar or Benu and for good reason. It's a beautifully floral, light and crisp wine. Think acidic enough to balance the salinity but lightness of oysters, monkfish liver and squid. Also, great for toning down the heat of the touch of serrano chile but not so sweet as to overpower those flavors. For around $50US it's not the cheap sleeper but it's definitely an excellent price performance value regardless.

Our Belgium friends guided us to one of their favorite wineries in Colmar! Only 3 tastings per…read moreperson (FREE!), so we tried 6 different wines between the two of us! It was really tough to choose so few as they have so many different Alsatian wines! The 2 cremants were SPECTACULAR, especially for the price! Then, we moved onto 2 Rieslings and 2 Pinot Gris! I must say that we thoroughly enjoyed each one, and I can be quite snobby when it comes to wine. Our server was super friendly and helped guide us through our choices and answered any questions that we had. Her English was definitely better than our French, and much appreciated! We highly recommend this stop... and wolfberger doesn't just stop at wines... they make spirits, liqueurs, and even beer!!! Wow!!! Would buy a bit of each if we lived on this side of the Atlantic!!!

We've been at the Wolfberger Winery in Eguisheim not long ago and stocked up on come good Crémant…read more Wolfberger has an amazing value. A 12 Euro bottle tastes as good as a 50 Euro Champagne. We were on the way home to Switzerland, did some shopping in E.Leclerc and passed this Boutique by accident. Couldn't resist but to stop by and get some more of the good stuff. As the one in Eguisheim this also is a very nice, stylish Boutique and tasting room. Friendly and helpful staff. Our Bulldog was welcome inside as well. We didn't do a tasting though this time, we had to get going. But we bought a sixpack of Wolfberger Pink Crémant. And a sixpack of the Brut Révèrence IX. An amazing Crémant. A bit more expenisve than the regular. But only a few Euros more. And worth it. This is outstanding Crémant. It's not easily available in shops, so get some if you can get your hands on it. But of course in the Wolfberger Boutiques and Winery you'll find it. A quick stop only this time. But we got what we came for. We'll be back. Definitely.

If you make a reservation a day ahead of time, they will have a platter of cheese to pair with the wines and it's definitely worth it. Their English is great if that is a concern. Check it out while you're in Colmar and you won't regret it!

Nothing like a good wine buzz at 11:00am! This tasting room is along a road - in a very beautiful…read morevillage near Freiburg - that hosts several tasting rooms and wineries. On Saturdays, it's only open from 10am-12pm, which seems to be the norm in the area. You'll need to ring the doorbell on the side to gain entry. The tasting room is small, but very nice and I figured we'd taste a few bottles, then be out the door pretty quickly. As it turns out, we spent so much time here that we did not make it to our next tasting place (open from 10am-12pm as well...) The host was friendly and what started out as a tasting of 2 wines ended with 7 or 8 tastes (very generous pours as well!) with our host hiding the labels and asking us to guess. We were pretty good at doing so and being the only tasters, we had an opportunity to ask her a lot of questions. Everything we tasted are quite good (not one bad pour) and well-priced. The pinot noirs (called "spaetburgunder" in this region) are shockingly light in color, but have a stronger, fuller taste than the pinots I'm familiar with in California. We walked out with 3 bottles of the 2009 Vitus (our favorite) and 1 bottle of the 2008 Novis (cabernet/merlot blend). Fun place and well worth a visit.

We are traveling the Rhine River this year for the Christmas markets. We were brought here by the…read moretour group and given time to explore the town. Wanting to try the wine that they are famous for we searched out a place to sample. Several people suggested we try Hugel wines. We were greeted as soon as we entered by a friendly lady who offered us a chance to sample their wines. 2-3 tastes later we had picked out a bottle to take with us. The town it's self is decorated for the season and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and I'm sure we will have fond memories of a great time when we open the bottle we picked up
