Alsace, a Top Wine Region Most Wine Drinkers Don’t Know About

Alsace produces some of arguably THE best wines in the world, and most wine drinkers don’t know about them! Not only are the wines lush and delicious, but they are great options for your holiday table. 

A few of our favorite producers include the traditionalist Albert Boxler, and the revolutionary Domaine Ostertag! Jean Boxler is a 3rd generation winemaker, using traditional techniques and savoir faire passed down through generations. His family migrated from Switzerland in the 1600s, but it wasn’t until after Jean’s grandfather Albert returned from WWII that they started producing wine eponymously (and the label today is that same as the original designed by Albert’s cousin). In contrast is the revolutionary winemaker André Ostertag, who is a second generation winemaker who recently passed the reigns to his son Arthur. This domaine is pushing the boundaries of local traditions and appellation rules, constantly experimenting to get the ultimate expression of terroir from their sites.
