  I love Boxler as a producer but the Trimback Clos St. Hune Riesling is one of the world's finest. There are many spirited discussion about whether Cuvee Frederic Emile might even be better. It's ultimately a matter of taste. Looking forward to learning more about both Alsace and the...

  Sylvaner Boxler 2006

  Snoothrank:

  A well balanced, food friendly wine. The nose is a little subtle, but what's there is fresh and fruity and hints at the wines oily-ness. In the mouth it really shines, with good acidity which results in lime flavors. Its fruity and oily, with more acidity than many similar Riesling... Read moreA well balanced, food friendly wine.

Its fruity and oily, with more acidity than many similar Riesling style wines. Very nice and well worth trying.    (hide)

Les Alouettes 2006 Albert Boxler Grand Cru Brand Pinot Gris White Wine 2005 > Warm apple strudel, cheddar, and calvados cream Trimbach Gewürztraminer Cuvée Des Seigneurs De Ribeaupierre 2000 The Boxler was my wine of the night -  with 45g of residual sugar the wine had a rich, sweet, nose that exuded complexity. Sweet on the tongue too - beautiful, concentrated and intensely complex, a wine of real character and depth. If you prefer something drier, then the Kreydenweiss would be my recommendation - very dry, very mineral, with a really nice oily, petrol character. A good deal at a little over $20    (hide)

  Albert Boxler Riesling Vielles Vignes 2005

  Snoothrank:

  The old vines make an early appearance. The nose is equally developed, with a pronounced intensity of apricot, bay leaf and plums. On the palate it is off-dry, with a noticeable alcohol level and a fairly full body. The acidity is crisp, keeping the wine from becoming too heavy.... Read moreThe old vines make an early appearance. The nose is equally developed, with a pronounced intensity of apricot, bay leaf and plums. On the palate it is off-dry, with a noticeable alcohol level and a fairly full body. The acidity is crisp, keeping the wine from becoming too heavy. Perfectly balanced. A pronounced intensity of spiced fruit (baked apple with tarragon) as well as apricot jam leave a long impression on the palate before they slowly fade, a medium(+) length with a surprising finish of mouthwatering pear fruit at the very end.    (hide)

  Thanks for the suggestions everyone! To recap, we had an extra dry bottle of Prosecco with the latkes and it really went well. I've since tried a Boxler wine on Greg's recommendation at really enjoyed its crispness and acidity. Thanks again and happy holidays / new year to everyone.

Read moreJust off dry chenin would work well with it's earthy fruit, solid acidity and touch of sweetness to match the sugars that are in the potato and onion and develop through frying. Riesling would also work but if I were going for something German Italian or French I would opt for a Pinot Blanc/Pinot Bianco/Weissburgunder instead. They tend to be a bit richer, with a smoky minerality and seem like a good match especially when the apple sauce is introduced. I'd look for a wine by Boxler or Zind Humbrecht's Pinot d'Alsace.    (hide)
