NELSON WINE COMPANY   presents

“The Great Wines of Alsace”

This tasting will bring together some of the best wines from this region, including Zind–Humbrecht, Schlumberger, Ostertag, and more, ranging from 1995, to 2007, from dry to sweet, all with lots of character.  Did you know  Alsace is one of the driest regions in France?  The Vosges mountains provide a “rain shadow” and the cool days mixed with lots of sunshine allow the white grapes of Alsace to ripen perfectly.  If you’re not too familiar with Alsace wines, or have never had any good examples, this tasting will definitely leave you craving for more.  If you are an Alsace fan, the selection is of very high quality.  These are some amazing wines, and will be a great tasting, especially for the price.
