Confiture Fraise Charlotte et Rhubarbe D’Alsace
Christine Ferber
Charlotte Strawberries and Rhubarb
Nothing fills the air with magic quite like the day a new shipment of Christine Ferber’s marvelous Alsatian jams arrive. It seems practically destined that she would become, as she’s known by her admirers, the Jam Fairy, having descended from three generations of pastry chefs. No surprise then, that La Maison Ferber’s pastries and jams have garnered worldwide attention. Christine’s small batch productions of strictly seasonal fruits are accented with singular touches—for example, Gewurztraminer gelée with rose petals; raspberry with pink peppercorn; and, one of our shop’s current favorites, tart Montmorency cherries in Kirsch (we like to spoon it over Basque cheesecake). We are delighted to bring these deeply unique flavor combinations to the States. Words simply don’t do these beauties justice, so explore!

France | Alsace
This unique old-vine bottling from Kuentz-Bas is pure Pinot Auxerrois and boasts honey and orange blossom on the nose for days.

Pfersig means “peach,” and the wine’s subtle whispers of white peach are adorable, and then the bouquet keeps growing more expansive, more intense, grander.

ou’ll want to open it alongside richer dishes, or ones that take the longest to make, those that deserve a layered and complex bottling to match.

2019 Pinot Gris Grand Cru “Eichberg Trois Châteaux”
France | Alsace
You’ll want to pair this with a roast chicken or duck, or grilled sausages, when you are in the mood to forego a red with the main course.

France | Alsace
My favorite Riesling in the store, perhaps ever: zesty, minerally, intensely aromatic, and boundlessly deep!

Kuentz-Bas vinifies a glorious dry Muscat from grand cru Pfersigberg, an ample and fleshy white scented of ripe citrus, tropical flowers, and exotic fruits.
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.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
