Yes, that bottle of Veuve Clicquot is delicious, but at over $80 a pop, well, maybe it’s not your Tuesday night wine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploring the wide world of wine yields great rewards, and Champagne is no different. The champaignoise believe they have a monopoly on great bubbly. They don’t. What they have is a monopoly on the image of great bubbly. But a short hop, skip and jump across France reveals just how tasty “other sparklers” can be. Allow me to introduce you to Kraemer Blanc de Blancs Brut Vin Mousseux. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's a big name, so let me unpack it a little bit. This sparkling wine (vin mousseux) is made from Chardonnay grapes (blancs) in the driest style (brut). Kraemer pays homage to the German influence in Champagne (Krug, Moet, Mumm...), while also being an affectionate name for a shopkeeper. So this bubbly charmer from the Loire Valley should be on your short list for great summer drinking. Really, this mousseaux makes any occasion feel like a celebration:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKraemer Blanc de Blancs Brut Vin Mousseux opens with notes of green apples and fresh-baked croissants. Champaignoise will claim that no “mere” sparkler can attain the toasty richness of Champagne, yet here it is! Smelling of freshly toasted pain de campagne spread with sweet butter and honey, Kraemer is sure to please any Champagne lover. The mousse is supple, lending touches of honeysuckle and jasmine to a fresh, lively finish. It’s delightful in every way. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, you can drink great sparkling wine every day.

explaining that it's Roussanne.  Two things: First, Pennsylvania wine law requires restaurants to buy from retailers, effectively adding a fourth tier.  That extra tier is the State of Pennsylvania, making a pretty penny.  This means restaurants have to search deep into the sea of wines, for those golden gems that taste not just twice, but four times above their

sommelier, was wrong.  And totally unimpressed with my erudition.  I, on the other hand, fell in love. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan

tart flambee, the tart that’s bacon, onion and cream sauce. Follow that with a plate of Choucroute Garnie, which is basically four or five sausages (and bacon), boiled potatoes and smothered in onions. Maybe a little bit of a crayfish soup interlude? And then how about some Munster cheese to finish off the meal? Doesn’t this all just sound wonderfully hedonistic? The only thing that is missing is the wine!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut the wine isn’t missing at all, it’s right here in the glass! Bold and pleasing aromas of yellow pear shine, reminiscent of a Poire Williams distilled in the Voges Mountains just behind Alsace. The character is supple and golden, smooth as freshly cut overripe Bosc pear, with just the loveliest of subtleties of texture and depth. There is a long tradition of blending grape varieties in Alsace, and Maurice Shceoch Cotes d’Ammerschwir follows suit. The wine is a blend of several different Alsatian varieties, with each individual part—Pinot Blanc, Gris, Muscat and Sylvaner—contributing to its complexity. This wine is perfect as a cocktail, sittitng out in the sun watching the clouds hanging on the top peaks of Vogues, but it is also perfect on a hike up into those very same mountains, served at a picnic underneath the pines. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAhh, if you can’t tell, I truly love Alsatian wines and their spirited, invigorating manner. But, as the years have gone by, I can say that most of the blends of the region - call them Gentils or Edelswickers or what you will - have gone up in price and down in quality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat was why, when Itasted Maurice Schoech’s blend, I fell in love all over again—the quality is beyond compare, and the price is more than reasonable for what is in the bottle. I say Maurice Scheoch, but the winery is now in the hands of his two sons. And while I couldn’t find out exact specifics about this wine, the name and the size of its vineyard holdings leads me to believe that it is a blend from their single vineyard (and mostly Grand Cru) vineyard sites from the hill side of Ammerschwir. It is also my understanding that it’s almost entirely Pinot Blanc, with little touches of the other grapes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne sip, and I believe your love affair with Alsace’s great white wines will be rekindled as well.

In some ways this is good – I believe the wines remain dramatically underpriced, simply because they lack the tag “Grand Cru.” In other ways, this is bad – about 75% of wine under the appellation isn’t grown on Kimmeridgian soils, the same soil type that—in both Sancerre and Chablis—gives the wine minerality, drive and energy. Instead, many are grown on clay or sandy soils. Not all Sancerres are created the same, and it can be a bit of a minefield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGerard Boulay’s Sancerre is an example of Grand Cru. Gerard traces his history in Sancerre at the small village of Chavignol back to 1380. At the town square, the records division mentions Jean Boulay as an owner of vineyards. The wines of Chavignol Sancerre are produced on “terre blanche” soils, making them some of the most distinctive and soil-inflected Sauvignon Blancs produced in the Loire, with a delineation and minerality often reminiscent of a top Chablis (or white Burgundy). And here, with the 2021 vintage, we are getting one of Boulay’s best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine opens with a stellar bouquet of gooseberry, tangerine, lime peel, great minerality, white flowers and a touch of fresh tarragon in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and rock-solid at the core, with outstanding focus and grip, snappy acids and great soil signature on the long, complex and very classy finish. Of course I will be drinking this immediately, but for those of you who stash a few bottles away, you are in for a divine treat – this will age exceptionally well, for more than a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWines like this come at a price, and Boulay is never cheap.
