780. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, Pinot Gris Rotenberg, 2011
A superb example of dry Pinot Gris, in the rich, Alsatian style, that covers its 15.5% ABV very well. Fairly deep gold. Exotic aromatics …
712. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, Gewürztraminer Clos Windsbuhl Vendange Tardive, 2005
With dessert at Andy and Dad’s combined 40th / 70th, this was a very fine, late harvest Gewürz. Deep gold. Pronounced nose of mixed …

602. Domaine Barmès Buecher, Pinot Gris Pfleck Alsace, 2005
A good, solid, classic Alsatian Pinot Gris. And a pretty good (emergency) match for French onion soup (particularly as the soup was much paler …
593. Domaine Zind-Humbrecht, Riesling Grand Cru Brand Vieilles Vignes, 2007
