San Francisco Bay Area Wine-Zind-Humbrecht Rieslings at Vin, Vino, Wine

Though his repertoire extends to several more varietals, Olivier Humbrecht is widely considered one of the world's most talented Riesling winemakers. He also has one of Alsace's most extraordinary collections of Riesling vineyards: Clos Hauserer, Clos Windbuhl, Brand and Rangen-Clos St. Urbain. We now have in stock five recently arrived 2006s. This tasting features these, along with three older bottlings. See page 3 of this month's VVW News for 2006 prices.
