My wife and I will be in Alsace around the end of next month.
We'll have a rental car and will slowly drive (four days) from Strasbourg to Colmar. Any recommendations for wineries to visit (or anything else we should do) would be greatly appreciated. -- Ken Blake Please reply to the newsgroup |

Eat at Pierot la Fou in Riquewihr. This is not expensive for what you get - truffles, foie gras etc. The restaurant seats 8 only - a truly remarkable eperience. While in Riquewihr visit Roger Jung et fils. This is a very underrated vineyard with some Grand Cru vineyards and makes excellent and affordable wine. Don't forget to go to the Musee Unterlinden in Colmar to see the Isselheim Altar tryptych - one of the most important pieces of the Middle Ages. If you want a fantastic meal, eat at Au Crocodil in Strasbourg - expensive, but worth every penny. Forget about Auberge D'Ill, which I think is VERY overrated. Cheers and have a great time. Ron Lel |
