There's this small outfit called Trambeck or Trumbich or something... :P People I know speak highly of visits there (seriously).

Oh yes, that's Trim Back...

I believe Hugel is also around there.

To quote myself "a wine producer, fun to visit".

Deiss, rhymes with price ... -y, but admittedly good, Freyburger have not yet tasted ...

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.

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

Tell the bank Boxler is definitely not sub-prime Alsace.

Scheidecker at Rue des Merles, Mittelwihr are genuine small growers with a good range of drier Alsatians - that's wine not dogs. their generics are good and they have some Mandelberg and Sporen GCs as well. Good hunting - don't fall off the bike on he way back.

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
