Binner Les Saveurs Assemblage de Cepages d’Alsace 2008(Alsace, France): If Thanksgiving is the quintessential fall meal, then this could be the quintessential autumn wine. It’s a blend of Pinot Gris, Muscat, Riesling, and I think, I little Gewürztraminer. It’s all the juice from each of these grapes that couldn’t fit into the big barrels. Theses left overs are blended together and the result is this very tasty wines. This wine is unfiltered – and noticeably so. But don’t let the cloudiness scare you. It’s supposed to be that way. And the blend of all these grapes makes for a slightly spicy, slightly floral , very fall-like wine. I love this wine – whenever I recommend it, I always think “I really need to drink more of this wine.” Which I will do – on Thanksgiving. And you should too.
