2018 Edelzwicker
Meyer-Fonné
If you are indecisive, on a budget, or simply don’t have time to taste your way through the plethora of Alsatian whites on offer, then Edelzwicker may be the wine for you. This “noble blend” combines the region’s principal grape varieties in one lip-smacking, liter-sized bottle of fun, perfectly capturing the magic of Alsace at bargain cost. Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Chasselas, Riesling, and Pinot Gris star in this white that smells like a bouquet of flowers, tastes like a basket of ripe fruit, and finishes dry as . . . something very dry.

Crémant d’Alsace Brut
France | Alsace
This rich, gastronomic crémant with fine and elegant bubbles will have even the Champagne purist singing its praises.
2024 Pinot Blanc “Vieilles Vignes”
France | Alsace
Félix Meyer’s old-vine Pinot Blanc from the slopes of Katzenthal, in Alsace, has long overdelivered.
2022 Riesling “Pfoeller”
France | Alsace
Shop for sausages, a jar of sauerkraut, some mustard, and this thoroughbred of a Riesling. I predict even greater fireworks in another seven years or so. Highest recommendation.
2024 Muscat Réserve

Dip your nose deep in this glass of Muscat; its delicate perfume—redolent of elderflower and orange blossom—leaves no doubt that you’ve discovered one of Alsace’s hidden gems.

France | Alsace
Felix Meyer’s recent acquisition from the small, sunny Mandelberg cru is already a classic through and through.

2023 Gewurztraminer Grand Cru “Kaefferkopf”

Note the intensity, the power, but the delicate touch on the finish.
2024 Riesling “Vignoble de Katzenthal”
France | Alsace
This Riesling “Katz,” as we call it, is a beautifully linear and chiseled style of Riesling, fresh and pure.
2023 Pinot Gris “Réserve”
France | Alsace
From the exceedingly fine and elegant nose to the creamy and lacy texture, the overall balance and touch, and its hint of salty freshness, this wine shows how understated, finessed, and downright glorious dry Pinot Gris can be in Alsace.
2023 Pinot Noir “Altenbourg”
France | Alsace
This is a rich, ample, seductive Pinot with notes of tea leaves, strawberries, and blackberries.

About The Region
Alsace
Tragically, Alsace might be the most misunderstood wine region of France. In spite of its long history of viticulture and tremendous diversity of pedigreed terroirs, a past fraught with marketing mishaps has left consumers baffled as to what exactly to expect inside one of these mysterious tall, thin bottles.
The good news, on the other hand, is that a new wave of quality-oriented growers is working hard to put Alsace in its rightful place as one of the world’s most fascinating sources of fine white wine. By embracing tradition, respecting terroir, and making a concerted effort to better communicate the countless virtues their wines have to offer, they have succeeded in putting Alsace back on the map.
Crafted from a number of grape varieties and beautifully interpreting the region’s mosaic of soil types, our Alsace imports are by and large dry whites offering exceptional versatility at table. While each of these selections is ready to be uncorked tonight, the finest among them are also capable of maturing for many, many years in a cool cellar. Expect kaleidoscopic aromatics, lively acidities, and loads of terroir transparency in these skillfully crafted masterpieces. Enjoy a foray into the thrilling world of the world’s most underrated wine region, and certainly do not hesitate to contact our sales staff with any questions as you take off on this mouth-watering adventure.

Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
