Daily Wine Tidbits

So, how do you choose which Alsace wines to buy? Remember, the Alsace wines are the wines produced in the region of Alsace, France. Well, first thing to remember is that most Alsace wines are meant to be consumed young, between 1-5 years aged. Also, check the label to see if it says "Grand Cru" on it. Wines that say "Grand Cru" on the label can only be produced from the very best grape varieties. There are over 50 vineyards entitled to the Grand Cru label. I'll be on the lookout for some myself to try!
