I’ve been craving this white! Dry, floral, fresh, herby. It makes me feel like spring will arrive. We’ll eat asparagus and small waxy potatoes, sit outside, listen to birds and leafblowers, accidentally drink the whole bottle. Maybe some smoked trout will be present. A picnic white, with a screwcap, better than it has to be. Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner, and Gewurztraminer can all thrive in the fields surrounding Ribeauville because the area is on a faultline. Geology underpinning the area’s vines is quite diverse.
