Alsace wines' purity of fruit, good activity and low levels of tannin make them the perfect accompaniment for a host of cuisine styles including Chinese, Indian, Thai, Japanese and many more.
Versatile Riesling is the ideal match for delicate dishes across the board.
The sweeter or hotter the dish is, the sweeter and richer the wine sould be. But, with the Alsace whites made in a variety of styles that range from bone dry to lusciously sweet, there should be something that's just right, whatever you are planning to eat.
A number of grape varieties are permitted in Alsace, including Pinot Noir (the only permitted red grape of the region), Muscat and Sylvaner. But, foremost among the Region's grapes are Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurtzraminer.

Oh, to be there sipping with you.... I just spent the last few minutes catching up on your blog posts. What a wonderful mental break right now. Must share with my sisters this weekend along with some domestic wine. We'll have to wait on the luscious Alsace variety.
