The highlight of the afternoon was a wine tasting
at the Cave des Vignerons de Pfaffenheim, near
Colmar, in the south of Alsace. It was hosted by
sommelier Bernard Nast. He explained that the
cave is a vintners’ cooperative, of which he – with
a very small plot of vines -- is a member. They get
together to share the cost of wine processing and
marketing.

We tasted and savored the special wines of
Alsace, including my favorites, Riesling and
Gewürztraminer. Visitors can sample wines daily
except Dec 25 and Jan 1, generally from 9 or 10
am till 6 or 7 pm. On weekends and in low
season, the cave is closed from 12 to 2. Ask
about “Jazz à Pfaff” to get music with the wine.

We also got a tour and explanation of the wine-
making. There’s modern steel here, not wooden
barrels. Now that is pulling Alsace from
medieval times right into the modern age!
