Alsace 2007, Grade A, according to Wine Spectator

WS_2007.jpg

From all the wine regions, only Alsace and southern Rhône were the wine regions of France where vintage 2007 was rated with the perfect A mark by the influential Wine Spectator.

Overall, wine lovers seeking the elegance and balance that typifies classic Alsatian wines should be pleased with 2007. The vintage, said, Etienne Hugel of Hugel & Fils, "ended up with one of the longest harvesting times in recent years [and] with overall longest hang time from blossoming to picking. Just what the doctor ordered. [It] should turn out to be a great classic vintage for us in Alsace."

A somewhat quieter Wednesday enables us to take a moment to thank all the visitors of these pages as well as the many testimonys of encouragements which we have received in the last few days. The very kind comments by Jancis Robinson on her own website is a fantastic encouragement to provide you with even more quality information.
Our full focus remains with the vintage with "both hands in the grapes" and we can reassure you that the updating of this Blog is often done late in the evening just after the last press has been filled.
Since the opening of these pages about our 2007 vintage, the consultations of our site almost doubled as proved by our last statistics. You are currently more than 300 visitors daily.
We cannot tell you how exciting it is to share with you the unfolding of a new vintage. Every day will see more and more signs that it may well be a rather good one. May the good fortune stay with us. Stay with us, more to follow !

"perfect for Asian food" according to shanghaidaily.com

Could there be any better endorsement than this recommendation that was just published on shanghaidaily.com ?

"With wine, most diners tend to go with regular reds, enjoying the drink without bothering too much about the clash of styles. True, some rouges can be quite enjoyable with the considerably lighter Cantonese dishes, but most will agree, however, that a vintage bordeaux is not necessarily the best match for lamb vindaloo.

The best bet is actually an often overlooked one. White wines from the Alsace region of northeastern France are dry, light and fruity - perfect for Asian food.

Instead of ordering a bottle of red with your next Asian meal, why not try matching it with something that goes well with the style of food on the table. Any doubters will be bound to eat their words."

James Suckling Uncorked - BYOB in Vegas


James Suckling

Seen on James Suckling's Blog on winespectator.com
At a dinner with many of Las Vegas wine personnalities.

1987 Hugel Riesling Alsace Vendange Tardive stole the show. Ogden brought it from his cellar. It was rich and powerful with layers of fruit and fabulous petrol and pineapple character. Mind-blowing stuff. 97 points in this non-blind tasting. And this was after being up for close to 24 hours! Maybe VT helps jetlag?
