2023 Hofgut Falkenstein Niedermenniger Herrenberg Weissburgunder trocken AP-2

From: Mosel, GermanyVarietal: Pinot Blanc Taste: I’ve tasted a few vintages of Falkenstein’s Weissburgunder and am thrilled to report that 2022 may be my favorite thus far. Vivid, bright, fresh, classy, and weightlessly silky. Beneath all the gorgeous Asian pear, white flower, and green apple vibes, this wine rides on a tightrope of river stone minerality to its lifted, ethereal finish. Pairing: You’ve got a ton of options here. This versatile Weissburgunder will make any evening or afternoon wonderful by itself or with everything from brunch options to the main course at dinner. Some specific examples include serving this with quiche, croque monsieur, or madame, poached salmon or salmon Rillettes, smoked trout rillettes, or as a spread, roasted chicken of all persuasions (check out the recipe below!), roasted duck with orange and ginger or Peking duck with a honey and five-spice glaze, and even roasted turkey and gravy.
