It’s not just glycerol. Say, 1.5% RS? Oh, but there’s good acid foil. Especially for gewurz. The Scherer wines always have good acidity.

| ALS-120. 05 GEWURZTRAMINER RESERVE PERSONNELLE, WEINBACH (Limited Stock) Haas: ‘Typical spicy nose. On the palate it’s very racy yet still has an oiliness, and has the typical Gewurztraminer bitterness–some green tea and verveine fruit. Very mineral fruit with some black pepper and some floral aspects too, with a finish of herbal tea. 18.2/20.’ |

MUSCAT |
| ALS-127. 06 MUSCAT, FREY-SOHLER Remarkable. Eau de vie like intensity of perfume. Deep citrus peel character. Overtones that strike me as both sweet and mineral-salty. Flowers and botanicals. Cool and melodic. Unique in the annuls of Alsace muscat./ Again, suave citrus oil perfumes and plenty of both spice and tonic overtones. Good acidity for 06, and muscat’s cleansing bitter finale. Much different from the 05, and more than a year younger in freshness. 92+/100. |

PINOT BLANC / AUXERROIS |
| ALS-129. 08 PINOT BLANC CUVEE BALTHAZAR, L ALBRECHT 100% pinot blanc. Cool, even cold hearted. Clear headed, dry, and typical of pure pinot blanc without the admixture of auxerrois./ Smooth and soft. Pinot blanc is not a high acid grape variety. This is a lesson in pinot blanc form and style. I would appreciate more intense varietal aromatics, though they really are understated even in the best...without the auxerriois boost. And more aromatics will form over the coming months. Very satisfactory. And well liked by the group. 90+/100. |

| How Many bottles/singles: 11.99 each |
| ALS-132. 08 PINOT BLANC, THE FURST Sweet and soft and enticing combo of auxerrois creaminess and pinot blanc zingy green melon./ Yes, both creamy and tangy. A good vintage for this. Has it all in pinot blanc, really. Not as tight-structured as a lot of 08 northern Europe whites. This has more of the give and allure of 06 and 07. 91+/100. |
| How Many bottles/singles: 11.99 each |
| ALS-133. 08 PINOT BLANC, SCHERER Fresh, lively incisive, upbeat. Aromatic apple varieties./ Delicious sweet, juicy apple taste. Good grip and acidity of 08, with a certain pinot blanc tenderness too. Has a mellow side. Fine length! Well liked by the group. 91/100. |

| ALS-134. 07 PINOT BLANC RESERVE, PIERRE SPARR Cool pinot blanc green fruits. Penetrating. Stony. A proper smooth and gentle side too./ Racy, stony, savory. Seems pretty pinot blanc dominant; not a lot of auxerrois creaminess. Dry, but not austere; there’s a certain tenderness of 07 too. 90/100. |
| How Many bottles/singles: 15.99 each |
| ALS-135. 06 PINOT BLANC VAL ST GREGOIRE, SCHOENHEITZ Jorge: Fat peach, pear, and loquat aromas. Lots to give. Elegant and seductive./ Dry, minerally. Nice depth. Good edginess too. A good expression of pinot blanc. 91/100. |

| How Many bottles/singles: 15.99 each |
| ALS-143. 07 ALSACE ONE, P SPARR 39% sylvaner, 29% muscat, 16% riesling, 9% pinot blanc, 7% klevner. Full scented. The sylvaner apple, the muscat flowers, the riesling peach. Pinot blanc is mostly to fill it out, as it doesn’t have distinctive perfume in a minor setting. And klevner! Long time, no see. Neat!/ Smooth 07 styling, easy on entry. Then good acidity cuts in at the end to cleanse the finish. Flavors of stone fruits, citrus pulp, tea leaf, honey. One of the best of this series. Popular with the group. 91/100. |
| How Many bottles/singles: 13.99 each |
| EOBALS-144. 06 ALSACE ONE, P SPARR - End of Bin A fun edelzwicker featuring more muscat than gewurz perfume. That’s unusual./ The palate has that rosy gewurz hue though. And the varietal’s noted combo of viscosity and astringency. So gewurz certainly plays a part too. The basis is pinot blanc, which appropriately dilutes muscat and gewurz intensity to make the wine more refreshing and quaffable. Pinot gris is a minor player and might account for some of the viscosity. Or maybe that’s silvaner speaking. Light sachet on the aftertaste. 90/100. |

| ALS-145. 07 EDELZWICKER, WOLFBERGER liter (L) The gewurz rose-lychee is there. Rose hip tea. A pronounced melon tone, like canteloupe. I guess that’s pinot gris. Good gewurz and pinot gris heft./ Melon and rose. Unique and attractive edelzwicker flavor set. Good strength supports its body. 07 shows its come-hither fruit side. Nice acidity, and cleansing astringency at the finale. 90+/100. |
