Thank you for publishing this wine series on RUclips else I would have never known about it. I know and enjoy cabernet sauvignon, red wines some Merlot but never even heard of pinot gris. I could not imagine that Alsace's cellars still have wines that was produced in the 1830s, that was 30 years before the civil war ! I have learned so much about wines and the video was produced back in 2002. Michael Fagan is a nice narrator, I wish to see him in future productions.
So glad my teacher shared this wine documentary with us in 2022. I feel fertilized after watching this series! Thanks, LCBO for spreading wine knowledge!
Riesling is great and I'm enjoying it right now. But I still can not forget the first impression of of Gewurztraminer. That is the true divine magic of Alsace. Great intro thanks!
Gracias, soy recien sommelier recien egresada, radico en Cancún, sigo estudiando pir mi cuenta y quiero agradecerte este magnífico video! Muy bien elaborado se nota la pasion con que lo elsboraste. Aprendí mucho
I was visiting the town of Kaiserberg and a gentleman said to me "Do you like wine?" And he invited me to the cellar. I told him I wasn't looking to purchase. He said to me "I don't want you to buy, I want you to taste our wine!" And taste we did. God that stuff is good. My suitcase was filled with it. I declared it all at cdn customs and they let me keep it all no hassles 🤩😍
you should come to the Torino area and try my Sigmund wine, coming from a vineyard that is 98 years old and that I recued from distruction 12 years ago, when I bought the house and land. This vineyard was part of the land and the "Regione Piemonte" wanted to force me to eradicate it, because it was not well kept. So I decided to run the risk and invest in the vineyard, working very hard for 12 years, but the work was worth its risk... I liked your video, nicely done! Keep it up
My friend I love your videos, will you consider making a video about fruit wines from South America? Not all regions can grow grapes, but there are plenty of fruits that make excellent wines. Just a suggestion, live well buddy!
I have family in Alsace my Uncle(his family) has had this vineyards for 500 years near Colmar in Kaysersberg. I have had a tiny my own experimental vineyard in Poland and testing over 30 different species. Nowadays all new species are energetically modified.I like them because I don't like spray program.My Uncle sprayed his vineyard over 10 times per year .The world has changed and I prefer not to drink sprayed ones.It dosen't matter if they are genetically modified .However they are not popular and many people stay against these programs.
Hi Chris. Try more producers, especially on the inexpensive side. The bio dynamic producers in this video make some very dry Gewurz which has refreshing floral characters and nice minerality.
+chris2586 It's a strong wine which can affront a Thai dish with gingember and chiles, try the "normal" one, some are rather dry ... if it was a vendages tardives, or pourriture noble which are very peculiar by their strength (I love it), sweetness and alcohol (16% easily) you have been overwhelmed as it's a "liquor" wine. Gewurtz vendanges tardives is an almost dessert wine for desserts, foie gras, spicy food, strong cheeses. Try it with oysters also. Or dark chocolate, at least 60% cacao, you'll be surprised. You can compare it with a all natural 6 feet 180 pounds girl with big appetite.
So, being from close to Strasbourg, but still the german side, I have to correct 2 things. You should get better information before doing a video… 1. Alsace has not just being occupied by Germans. The first 1000 years Alsace was part of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation. After the 30 years war it was first annexed by Louis XIV. In 1871 and 1940 Alsace was occupied by Germans afterwards. But the first people in Alsace where still Germans (nothing against our French broders, I totally agree that it is French nowadays). Landau, a german City on the border, was occupied 200 years by France, French solidere destroyed almost the whole west of Germany, but that has passed and doesn’t matter anymore. The only thing about that is that people always want to show Germans as the bad occupiers. Get proper information please! 2. Alsace the sunniest region in France ? Bullshit 😅 it’s the driest and also one of the sunniest, but still 800 hours less than the Mediterranean. That being said there is some good material in the documental. I feel at home on both sides of the Upper Rhine and am very happy to have this border less friendship with France! 🇩🇪🇫🇷✊
these are great but the commentary voice is a little hard to listen to... very lazy, boring tone. People who are into wine are interested in a good time. The music and the content are good.

Go to Alsace my friend. You will not regret it I promise.
Highly enjoyable, thank you!
These are incredible. Absolute gems.
Thank you, fine video🍇❤🍸
Gratitude to you for the effort you make people educate about beautiful Alsace wine.
Riesling is great and I'm enjoying it right now. But I still can not forget the first impression of of Gewurztraminer. That is the true divine magic of Alsace. Great intro thanks!
I'll be biking with friends in Alsace later this month. Perfect video. I shared it with everyone in our group. Merci.

j'adore Alsace...histoire, culture, vin, et bien sur les gens...salutation de la Serbie
Beautiful region...great wines!!!
I enjoyed every second of this reportage!
Alsace produces some of my favorite wines. Great show - I learned a lot.
Excelente video, muy interesante y de gran ayuda, gracias!
Had a Trimbach Gewurztraminer last night. Very complex, smooth, with a long finish. Had it with Chile Colorado, and it was superb.
That combination sounds great!
Thanks heaps for the video. 👍
I love the earthy sophistication of combination....wine and food ......

Gewürztraminer - so delicious🍸
Thanks to showing for world 🌎 the wine ways!!!
Excelente 👍🏻

I have learned so much about Riesling.
Amazing, Merci
No doubt...super-hit!!!!
Nice I’ll go there sometime it’s close from where I live Luxembourg
The Wine Trail through Alsace is still relatively unknown .... and thank goodness. The combination of wine and food is stunning.
Come and discover the french wine ! I will be delighted to count you among my subscribers ! Happy new year !
MY FIRST VISIT WAS IN 1965 TO VIGNERON PIERRE HERTZ IN EGUISHEIM.
I love reds and have started to dip into the wines of Alsace like Willm and wow, lots going on there
Alsace-Lorraine sunnier than southern France? I would have never thought that.
I thought that was funny too.
@@asimplecrusader5095 I know right? The Mediterranean is one sunniest places on earth.
Provence is the sunniest of French wine regions, 3000 hours sunlight per year.
Thanks a lot
Great video.
Muscat d'Alsace is to die for , if you like intensely fruited wines, but Riesling is more diverse and even better in Germany.
My friend I love your videos, will you consider making a video about fruit wines from South America? Not all regions can grow grapes, but there are plenty of fruits that make excellent wines. Just a suggestion, live well buddy!
Great vid. Creepy side note...21:09, that is the hotel where Anthony Bourdain died.
Awesome
Thanks from me too.
Thankyou very much !! those videos are very helpful to study more abt vine (y) :)
Does anyone can tell me who built the cellars in here 17:13 . Thanks

Is there a Boone's Farm trail?
Of course. It runs from Texarkana all the way to Valdosta.
Anyone know the song at 24:04?

Thank you for watching video
Smashing tour-what does LCBO mean? Who pays for this? Here in Pennsylvania, PLCB is the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board. Who is Michael Fagan?
Sunniest wine regions of France are actually Corsica and Provence.
интересно о винограде.
WOw!
Add a patron saint and the wine will be better... involved the apostles and will be the best wine ever 😆

I have family in Alsace my Uncle(his family) has had this vineyards for 500 years near Colmar in Kaysersberg. I have had a tiny my own experimental vineyard in Poland and testing over 30 different species. Nowadays all new species are energetically modified.I like them because I don't like spray program.My Uncle sprayed his vineyard over 10 times per year .The world has changed and I prefer not to drink sprayed ones.It dosen't matter if they are genetically modified .However they are not popular and many people stay against these programs.
Descriptions says 2002
Yes - Pinot-gris is just called as such and no longer "Tokay-Pinot-gris" since 2007.
tried the gerwzt from Alsace and man way too sweet for me. Basically undrinkable.
Hi Chris. Try more producers, especially on the inexpensive side. The bio dynamic producers in this video make some very dry Gewurz which has refreshing floral characters and nice minerality.

Just like THE EUROPEAN MAN , this kind of "wine" is Purity & Strenght!

Wait, I did not know muslims drink wine!
these are great but the commentary voice is a little hard to listen to... very lazy, boring tone. People who are into wine are interested in a good time. The music and the content are good.
