Germany makes some Gewürztraminer, but not enough for it to take up much room on local shelves. Riesling is that country's baby. Rather, France's Alsace region is Europe's premier producer of Gewürztraminer. Located in the northwest corner of France, Alsace changed hands between France and Germany many times over a few hundred years. As a result, many of the towns have German names, and residents speak both German and French. It's this inherent sweetness of Gewürztraminer that makes it a great choice for people just getting into wine; the typical new wine drinker goes from sweet to dry wines, and from white to red, so it's a good place to start. Beyond the newbies, seasoned wine drinkers will take a racy, spicy Gewürztraminer over an overoaked Chardonnay any day of the week. This is a t...
The trip was meant to highlight regionality within the Niagara Peninsula, and while I definitely came away better-informed on the strengths and weaknesses of various sub-appellations, in Manitoba, there aren't many Ontario wines available from these sub-appellations.

France's Burgundy, Loire Valley and Alsace produce some of the world's best cooler-climate wines, as does Germany and Austria. For ...
So too has the distinction become clouded between Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio. Pinot Gris/Grigio production was once dominated by France and Italy. The difference transcended language -- Gris in French and Grigio in Italian both meaning "grey" -- and was reflected in the style of the wines. Italian Pinot Grigio (typically from the Venezie region) displays light, crisp, characteristics, with citrus and floral notes. French Pinot Gris (typically from the Alsace region) is deeper in colour and richer in flavour, with apple and mineral flavours dominating. Both Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio wines are now made all over the world and, like Syrah/Shiraz, the difference in naming reflects the style in which the wine is made rather than where it comes from. Pinot Grigio typically implies the light...
