Trimbach, Alsace, Pinot Blanc 2005 Light floral notes mark the nose and the mouth has a rather creamy texture, very little residual sugar, a moderate amount of acid and the taste of stone fruits; it’s nice and simple for the price. Mis en bouteille a Ribeauville 12.5% $11.79 at Bottle Barn Trimbach
Martin Schaetzel, Alsace, Cuvee Reserve, Riesling 2006 There’s the smell of candied limes and minerality while the mouth is rich, a little thick with a little more residual sugar than the Trimbach. Again, I see this, like the wine above, as nice for the price when you budget is tight on Alsatian night. The grapes are all biodynamically farmed. Winemaker Jean Schaetzel.
