We were in Portsmouth, N.H. for an industry workshop, and I bought this one for dinner we had one night at the Oar House Restaurant.
Very dry, but had enough fruit to keep it interesting. Had a nice somewhat oily mouthfeel. Didn't have the depth of the half dozen other Alsatian wines I've had ( Riesling and Pinot Gris). But the combination of the acidity, dryness, and fruit flavors would have steered me to this region if it were tasted blind. A nice little drink for an inexperienced crowd.
One neat thing. A few of the guys ordered crabcakes as the appetizer. The crabcakes really took the wine up a few notches and made it luscious. It was neat to show the guys this little phenomenen. I had the Tilape fish, and the wine worked better with the crabcakes.
