We are happy to present to you The Story of Alsace’s Wines, an exclusive online wine class we hosting live on Sunday, May 21, 2023.  We covered the history of this borderland region and how it has influenced the modern wine industry, explored the 13 different soil types of the vineyards and how they define what’s in the glass, and we explored the wines made from Crémant d’Alsace, Pinot Gris and Riesling, with a special tour of four different Grand Cru vineyards.
