The wine tasting on Wednesday was as always very interesting. Since neither of my friends nor I had had any substantial to eat before, the tasting also become a quite giggly one in the end. But I did change my mind about wines from Alsace though. They are not only dry and tart. Some are actually real good.
Gustave Lorentz Riesling Réserve
Pale yellow colour with a scent of apples and citrus. Quite a fresh scent, but still inviting and nice. Both the apple and citrus also comes back in the taste, which is also pretty dry. For me this wine would be perfect to shrimps or any other seafood.
Gustave Lorentz Gewurztraminer Réserve 2005
Golden yellow colour with strong scent of flowers and perfume. The taste is a lot better then expected but still very sweet and artificial. I’ve tried quite a few Gewurztraminers and this one is actually the best one so far. A small glass with some cheese might be real nice.
Pierre Sparr Pinot Blanc Réserve
Light yellow colour with some scents of apples and pears. Quite a dry taste with hints of grapefruit, which makes it a bit tart but still very enjoyable. Would probably go very well with a fish dish in some sort of mild sauce.
Hubert Beck Tokay Pinot Gris Réserve du Chevalier
Yellow colour going a bit to beige. Scents of almonds, spices and some hints of soil. Flowery taste but still dry with an endnote of ripe apples and pears. My favourite in the testing and I think it would be perfect for a nice summer evening watching the sunset.
