These wines burst with flavor and fruitiness. They are intense yet elegant. I found her wine to be seductive, spicy, rich, and delicately refreshing. The wines are a bit pricey, but once you taste them there is no hesitation.

Picture this.....lunch in the kitchen of this beautiful old estate with the Faller women hovering over us. We start with cold smoked trout with creamy horseradish sauce and Weinbach Pinot Blanc Reserve. From there we have huge plates of giant white asparagus with morel mushrooms in a rich cream sauce. We drink the Weinbach Riesling Cuvee Theo and the Gewurztraminer Laurence. This was to die for. As with every meal in France, a cheese course was included and paired with their astounding Riesling Schlossberg Catherine. I'm in heaven. We are all laughing and chatting like old girlfriends. But the meal is not over. Catherine had made homemade ice cream. And to finish things off we must try their homemade Marc and Eau Di Vie.

These women are a hoot. For me, this whole experience reinforces what is important to me about the wine I like to drink, where this wine comes from--the land, and in whose hands the wine is made. I feel a personal attachment to these wines, these women and I have unabashedly become one of their greatest fans. Try them and be ready for one very heady experience.
