Eguisheim

Eguisheim is a picturesque wine-producing village in central Alsace, nestled in the foothills of the Vosges Mountains southwest of Colmar. The area benefits from a semi-continental climate with low rainfall due to the rain shadow effect of the mountains, featuring varied soils including clay-limestone, marl, and sandstone that create ideal growing conditions for Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris. Eguisheim is renowned for producing elegant, terroir-driven wines with pronounced minerality, particularly grand cru wines from the Eichberg and Pfersigberg vineyards.

Charles Baur Pinot Blanc

Charles Baur's Pinot Blanc is Alsace in a glass – unpretentious, charming, and quietly confident. This family estate has been crafting wines since the 1700s, and that generational knowledge shines through in every bottle. Their Pinot Blanc sits in that perfect sweet spot of being sophisticated enough for wine enthusiasts but approachable enough for casual sipping. Often overshadowed by its flashier Alsatian cousins (looking at you, Riesling and Gewürztraminer), Pinot Blanc deserves more attention. It's the friendly neighbor who always has good stories but never tries to dominate the conversation. This particular expression offers remarkable versatility at the table – it plays well with everything from delicate seafood to spicy Asian cuisine. Keep this one in your back pocket for those 'what wine goes with everything?' moments.
