Over the next couple of weeks we will be pointing out wines that go great with Thanksgiving dinner. There are many options but the number one choice – Alsace!!

Trimbach
Pinot Gris
Reserve 2005

Tanzer 89 “Pale yellow-straw color. Ripe aromas of stone fruits, smoke, butter and honey; this smells like pinot gris! Ripe, fat and easygoing, with a lovely hint of sweetness (actually ten grams per liter). This virtually has the weight of chardonnay but is perked up by harmonious, ripe acidity. Rich but shapely wine, from grapes harvested before the rain caused potential alcohol levels to decline. A satisfying drink with a brisk edge to its finish. This is Trimbach’s best-selling wine in the U.S.”
Parker 89 “The Trimbach 2005 Pinot Gris Reserve smells of peaches, brown spices, smoked meat, and musk. Creamy on the palate, yet juicy and refreshing, with striking clarity of ripe peach and musk melon supported by nine grams of residual sugar yet with scarcely a noticeable hint of sweetness in a finish dominated by smoked meat and salty, chalky minerality.”
WS 89 “A dry white, with hints of honey accenting the subtle star fruit, orange zest and apple flavors. This has a pleasant, juicy balance, with well-meshed acidity and lingering beeswax and nut notes on the finish. Drink now through 2019.”

Alsace
WS 89 “This dry, light-bodied white has a minerally undertow to its flavors of grapefruit, smoke, orange granita and spice. There’s good balance, with a modest finish. Drink now through 2016.”

Tanzer 91 “Pale yellow-green. Multidimensional bouquet blends refreshing vineyard peach and passion fruit with a note of wet rock. Firm, nicely integrated acidity lifts the fruit-driven flavors of lemon, lime and peach. The wine’s fine-boned structure gives it noteworthy finesse. Finishes fruity and long, with a hint of caraway. Drink 2011 to 2023.”

Thanksgiving is coming fast and there is nothing better for pairing than Riesling.  Add the fact that this Riesling already has decent age and is only $14.99, you really can’t say no.  Oh and one more fact – This was on the Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2007.

The Hugel family has been a name in Austrian wine since 1639.  That is 12 generations!!  They continue to make their wine in the classic dry style.  All of these go beautifully with any Asian cuisine – Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, etc.

Blend of noble grape varieties – Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Muscat and Sylvaner.  Nice and fresh.  Ripe peaches are complimented by spring time florals.  Great as an apertif.

WS 93 “each and lemon flavors vie with the tart structure in this lean, sharp white. There’s richness, but it’s wound tight and needs time to integrate. Be patient, it has potential. Best from 2008 through 2018. 150 cases imported.”
