Dr Bernard Lamb, who is known to most of you and is one of Capital’s most avid supporters, has kindly offered to conduct a tasting lunch featuring some of his collection of Alsace wines. To quote Bernard, "Most of these wines are very special ones which I bought long ago, or which I thought were superb when tasted at the producers in Alsace last May. Two will have to be withdrawn from Lay & Wheeler’s cel-lars. Only the Riesling is "entry level". As far as I know, none of these wines is currently available in the UK. A good range of Grand Crus are represented, and all four "noble" grape varieties of Alsace".
This will be a single bottle tasting limited to a maximum of 14 people and the wines Bernard is hoping to show are:
Mittnach-Klack, Cuvée Emma, Muscat d’Alsace 2009.
Léon Beyer Riesling 2004.
Albert Mann Pinot Gris Grand Cru Furstentum 2000.
Albert Mann Tokay Pinot Gris 1998 Grand Cru Hengst.
Meyer-Fonné Gewurztraminer Kaefferkopf 2000.
Bruno Sorg Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Eichberg 2004.
Kuentz-Bas Gewurztraminer Grand Cru Pfersigberg Trois Châteaux 2007
We will be serving these with an Alsace lunch of home cured salmon, Quiche Loraine & salad, Alsace cheeses and coffee.
