The words “power” and “finesse” seem to follow each other whenever anyone discusses Alsatian wines

February 2, 2011
As we approach our sixth anniversary, we decided to revisit one of our early features, on the wines of Alsace, and update it with a selection from more recent vintages. Indeed, since the current vintages, 2000 and 2001, were both outstanding, this is the perfect time to try these wines. Unfortunately Alsatian whites are often overlooked– especially by those new to wine. In fact, even some experienced wine drinkers often tend to confuse them with German wines and shun them for fear that anything “too sweet” or “fruity” pass through their lips. However, most Alsatian wines, except for the late harvested ones, are anything but sweet. We hope that after reading this month’s feature, you’ll give them a try before putting away your “summer whites. Although their pairing is almost oxymoronic, the words “power” and “finesse” seem to follow each other whenever anyone discusses Alsatian wines. But I can think of no other two that characterize these luscious, quaffable wines as accurately. “Power” is often used to differentiate them from German wines to which they are frequently and perhaps unfortunately, compared. They are definitely fuller bodied and dryer, making them perfect accompaniments to fish and white meats. “Finesse” suggests the aromatic charm of their floral and fruity bouquets.
