  Pierre Sparr Alsace One 2010

  Snoothrank:

  Middle of the road - went well with Mexican food. Not much in terms of distinctive aromas. Light on the palate, medium acidity. No long finish. Read More

  It’s time to talk about bubbles. For better or worse we associate New Year’s Eve with sparkling wine, though of course we could enjoy sparkling wine just about any time. One of the reasons we look to bubblies this time of year is that we are celebrating and sparkling wine is a celebratory wine, and often priced that way. But there are options ou... Read More

  Pierre Sparr Riesling 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Complex aromas of butchers wax, nutty spice, dried peach and heather greet the nose. Not a big wine, this is smooth and supple at perfectly integrated today.
