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.

Delicate, floral, and highly aromatic, Félix Meyer’s Edelzwicker is an insider’s ticket to the wonders of Alsace at bargain cost.

You’ll detect a steely quality on the finish, and the slightest hint of the petrol often associated with Riesling. Delicious!

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

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.

Almond, butter, orange confit, white truffle—it’s all there in the awesome bouquet—then you experience the unctuous, dense palate with a texture to write home about.

This wine showcases everything I seek for in a dry Gewurztraminer. The nose shows pure, delicate aromas of fresh lychee and exotic fruit.

Powerhouse intensity, concentration, kaleidoscopic flavor, unique terroir: in short, one of the great Riesling terroirs in all of northern Europe.

That grapes can be cajoled and fashioned to make such a liquid is miraculous. This aroma is beyond belief.

If you don’t recognize Félix’s touch from the rich aromas of lychee, ginger, and rose petals, you will by the time you finish your first glass.
