This Weeks Tastings
Monday January 27th
Alsatian Wines with Domaines Schlumberger from 5 to 7pm- Founded by Nicolas Schlumberger in 1810, Domaines Schlumberger produce 100% estate-bottled wines from southern Alsace. Today, the 6th and 7th generations carry on the family tradition. Because of the aridity and steepness of these domaines, the yields are about 50% of the average for the appellation of Alsace. The result is small yields of the highest quality grapes with exceptional concentration of flavor. Whether you're a dyed-in-the-wool Alsatian wine lover or not you'll find something to love in these wines.
