Alsace

Definitely! Eat at Pierot la Fou in Riquewihr. This is not expensive for what you get - truffles, foie gras etc. The restaurant seats 8 only - a truly remarkable eperience. While in Riquewihr visit Roger Jung et fils. This is a very underrated vineyard with some Grand Cru vineyards and makes excellent and affordable wine.

Don't forget to go to the Musee Unterlinden in Colmar to see the Isselheim Altar tryptych - one of the most important pieces of the Middle Ages. If you want a fantastic meal, eat at Au Crocodil in Strasbourg - expensive, but worth every penny. Forget about Auberge D'Ill, which I think is VERY overrated.

Cheers and have a great time.

For great food and an excellent wine list, and a cuisine that is "made for wine", try Henri Gagneux in his new location at La Palette, Wettolsheim, in the Auberge du Pere Floranc
