Top pairings for dry and off-dry Alsace whites

Top pairings for dry and off-dry Alsace whites

On a recent visit to Alsace, I had the pleasure of rediscovering the region’s diverse wine offerings, from crisp Rieslings to  Gewürztraminer and Pinot Gris. What struck me during this trip was how integral sweetness is to perfecting a food and wine pairing—a nuance that can vary greatly between a youthful bottle and a more aged vintage.

Visitors to this website will be used to my recommending white wine with cheese by now but I didn’t anticipate how good this particular combination would be.

In the end I didn’t get to the island of Janitzio, first pic, one of the most sought after destinations for Day of the Dead, because the crowds are just crazy these days but we went to one of the smaller island on Lake Patzcuaro, Yunuen where we saw these fisherman doing a traditional rhythmic dance with outsize fishing nets. A tourist spectacle for sure but still moving. . . . #dayofthedead #diadelosmuertos #lake Patzcuaro #fishermen #yunuen #mexicoThe absolutely spectacular display round the graves of the cemetery at Tzintzuntzan last night - surely one of the wonders of the world. Utterly spell-binding . . . #tzintzuntzan #dayofthedead #diadelosmuertos #cemetary #candles #mexico #michoacan #pueblomagicoEve of #dayofthedead parade in Patzcuaro. Worth the trip in itself . . . #diadelosmuertos #patzcuaro #michoacan #mexicoAbsolute feast @maizajo today - with @richardhartbaker and @raretealady. Left it to them to order as a result can’t fully recollect what we ate but it included this sublime shrimp taco, ceviche and some absolutely delicious octopussy kind of thing. (Yes there was mezcal but only one. Honest. (It was lunchtime). Put it on your hitlist if you come to CDMX. . . . #tacos #shrimp #ceviche #octopus #maizajo #condesa #mexicocity #cdmx Follow on Instagram
