Welcome to a crash course is Alsace! It's a lot of information in 30 minutes, and I talk way more about history in this episode than I will in following episodes, but I think it's worth it. 

In this episode I used three books: 

The Oxford Companion to wine, 4th Edition by Jancis Robinson. 

The Wine Bible, 2nd Edition by Karen MacNiel. 

and Wine and War, by Donald and Petie Kladstrup 

The wines I talk about are: 

The Wines of Marcel Deiss :

The Wines of Zind Humbrecht:

And Finally, while I was recording this episode I was sipping on a glass of the Trimbach Pinot Blanc, it was super delicious!
