Trimbach Pinot Blanc, Alsace, France 2016
"This is a full-bodied white wine that is dry but has floral and honey notes. It's from a classic winery from Alsace, and it is refreshing but round and interesting. For winter holidays, like Valentine's Day, it's great with a cheese plate and fresh fruit." — Amy Racine, beverage director at The Times Square EDITION and The Loyal in New York, NY
