Default Alsace

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.

Definitely!
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.
