Alsace

Alsace is the last 'large' region to receive an AOC (Appelation Côntrolée) in 1962. The region has a history of being bounced (faught over or occupied by) between the French and the Germans with the last trasfer of power being after World War II.

Today the region is best known for dry white wines produced from Riesling, but the region also produces excellent dessert wines and wines from Pinot Gris (what the Italians call Pinot Grigio), Pinot Blanc, Gewürtztraminer, Muscat and Sylvaner.

Trimbach
Trimbach Pinot Gris Reserve 2002
Alsace, France, WINES

The Trimbach family has been producing wine in Alsace since the 1600's.

Pinot Gris is an off-spring of Pinot Noir and closely related to Chardonnay, it is known as Pinot Grigio in Italy. Yet in Alsace it produces rich, elegant wines with floral aromas mingled with citrus and green apple, the palate is crisp yet rich with a long complex finish. This is the next place to go after tiring of bland Pinot Grigios.
