TOKYO WINE SOCIETY TASTING

Wines from Alsatian Winery Zind Humbrecht

January 16, 2004

 

The theme was Alsasian Whites from Different Grapes focusing on Zind-Humbrecht. This is arranged by Mike-san, and he had a mixture of grape varieties, but intended to focus to dry ones.  An Australian Riesling and a Pinot Gris from New Zealand were also included to cause confusion and complicate the tasting.  The result suggests it looks like people prefers Liesling the best and PinotGris as the second then Gewurztraminer, relatively expensive thou, the worst. This might have effected by the setting which we put same grapes side by side.
