Hello
Any suggestions for a wine producer, fun to visit, within easy bike distance from Riquewihr? Cheers Nils |

Oops! They're in Ribeauvillé, not Riquewihr, but they're fairly close together, are they not? (Hmm... Google maps says 7 km -- is that an easy bike ride for you?)

Visited Hugel 1998, did not particularly like, also is walkiong distance,
not bike. Suggestions are not for the dynamic duo (self + Xina) but our neighbours who most likely would consider a 7 km return trip slightly strenouos ...

To quote myself "a wine producer, fun to visit".
> Bergheim is 8km from Riquewihr, you find Deiss there, as well as > Freyburger. Deiss, rhymes with price ... -y, but admittedly good, Freyburger have not yet tasted ... > At 3km you find Beblenheim, with Bott-Geyl, they are some of the nicest > people I know and their wine is just like them... NOW you are, to make an incomprehensible pune, or play on words, cooking with choucroute (hint: in Swedish, the words for cabbage and coal are, spelling apart, the same). And good Rutger will find 3 km just bearable - just. > > A little further is Boxler, 12km, in Niedermohrwschwihr. > Boxler? Hmmm - if our dealings with the bank goes well, and we can start doing our week trips to Alsace, that might be something to consider ... Cheers Nils |

Good hunting - don't fall off the bike on he way back. Tim |

Now you're talking. Where are Schoffit and Rolly Gassman? I was just in Chicago today and picked up some wine at Sam's -- I had a look at their Alsace supply and was stunned to see both the prices and the alcohol levels. $45 for a non-GC Alsace Riesling no longer sounds like much of a bargain, and PG and Gewurz at 15% ABV don't appeal much, either, especially with the RS creep that's been taking place there. It's an ironic world when top-flight Kabinett Riesling such as the Meulenhof '07 that I picked up today for $17 a bottle becomes the QPR leader for dry(ish) Riesling.

Alsace is definitely feeling the (dubiouos) benefit of (alleged) global warming. Meanwhile, back in Germany ... On our forced pit-stop in Karlsruhe-Durlach, for a very good lunch, we had the Durlacher Turmberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken 2007 - despite somewhat backbreaking name, delightfully dry, well structured, light (11% abv), with both fruit and acidity, and not smelling like a 50s gas station (that's petrol station for the limeys), and (bit of drumroll here, please) at cellardoor, EU 7.50. Unfortunately, said cellardoor was closed when we next passed through the neighbourhood. Arrr! Foiled again! No, the good growers of Alsace are no doubt in for a change in style, whether they will or they nil. Mme Baur is bitterly complaining that she can no longer make the Rieslings she want to - summer's too warm. Cheers Nils |
