Foret Noire Griotte d’Alsace Variété Montmorency et Kirsch
Christine Ferber
Black Forest Alsatian Montmorency Cherry and Kirsch Brandy Jam
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!

2023 Edelzwicker "Réserve"
France | Alsace
Often featuring grand cru fruit, this bottling is arguably the ideal entry point to Boxler’s range of magnificent white wines.

2023 Riesling Grand Cru Sommerberg “Eckberg”
France | Alsace
My favorite Riesling in the store, perhaps ever: zesty, minerally, intensely aromatic, and boundlessly deep!

2019 Riesling Grand Cru “Pfersigberg Trois Châteaux”
France | Alsace
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.

2023 Pinot Blanc “Vieilles Vignes”
France | Alsace
Félix Meyer’s old-vine Pinot Blanc from the slopes of Katzenthal, in Alsace, has long overdelivered in the role of the proverbial “crisp white” for which we long.

2018 Pinot Gris Grand Cru “Brand”
France | Alsace
Decadent, rich, stony, and a touch off-dry—hard not to love.

2023 Pinot Blanc
France | Alsace
New to Alsatian wine? This is the perfect place to start.

2024 Alsace Pinot Noir
France | Alsace
Though we’re firmly in Alsace here, it would be a fun nod to pair it with bœuf bourguignon on a cozy fall eve.

2020 Pinot Blanc Réserve
France | Alsace
This Pinot Blanc is weightless, sultry, and lengthy as the day is long.

2022 Riesling Grand Cru “Wineck Schlossberg”
France | Alsace
You’ll detect a steely quality on the finish, and the slightest hint of the petrol often associated with Riesling. Delicious!

2018 Gewurztraminer Grand Cru “Brand”
France | Alsace
How a wine can be so boldly scented, yet simultaneously so delicate, remains a total mystery, but Boxler’s Brand exudes pure class.
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.

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. 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.
