3 | Wine | Alsace, Unrated, 750 ml

"The 2010 Gustave Lorentz Pinot Gris Reserve is gold-yellow in color, with a charming and complex nose of dried white fruits and nuts, with a touch of smokiness. The same expressive characteristics are found on the palate which is generous, fruitforward and full-bodied with balanced acidity."

"Gentil shows pure, fresh aromas, very fruit-driven and floral, as well as expressive and flattering. On the palate, this dry wine has a lively, youthful fresh character that is refreshing, with a pleasant, scented finish. Gentil is a perfect wine to sip with friends or to enjoy with simple everyday meals. Gentil is best enjoyed chilled with saltwater and freshwater fish, shellfish, starters and hors d'oeuvres."

"Snappy, and well-defined by racy acidity, this offers orange and grapefruit zest accents to flavors of lychee, kumquat and ground ginger; a hint of orchard blossom wafts through to the lasting finish."

"Apple and sweet corn juicily inform the Trimbach 2008 Pinot Blanc. With a saliva-inducing salinity adding to its appeal and no doubt also to its usefulness at table over the next couple of years."
