A recent visit to Alsace provided a great opportunity to taste every permutation of wine this pretty region produces. Much of it was tasted at their biennial trade fair Millésimes Alsace, but I also visited a number of producers. Suffice to say that my expectations were largely met, with some outstanding wines from established names (I was delighted to discover Boxler, for instance), but I also encountered a perhaps inevitable rump of cheaper, uninteresting wine. There are plenty of notes, so I'll let them speak for themselves.
A more in-depth article, focusing entirely on the Hengst grand cru, will follow in due...
