By David Glancy, MS, CWE
(Meyer-Fonné Tokay Pinot Gris Hinterberg de Katzenthal, Alsace) The deep straw color of this wine prepares you for the intensity that the nose and palate deliver. Honey, peach, apricot, almond-paste, lime, and lemon-leaf aromas lead to a rich, viscous mouthfeel. The creamy palate continues through a long, balanced finish. This moderately sweet wine walks the line between table and dessert styles, but does it beautifully. It would be great with a middle course of seared foie gras, perhaps better than a sweeter wine like Sauternes. It would also be fantastic with a strong cheese accompanied by honeycomb. Hot Picks

Drank with spicy Huevos Rancheros and refried black beans. Dark gold. Nose of honey, flowers and tropical fruit. Off-dry palate of tropical fruit, citrus and subtle oak. Racy acidity. Very good length. Great match with spicy meal.
