If the Beaujolais produces France’s quintessential bistro-quaffing reds, Alsace is arguably home to its white-wine counterparts. Regional blends like this blanc from Kuentz-Bas so often deliver unrivaled charm, food-friendliness, and value that they are an obvious choice when deciding which bottle to open for a potluck among friends or a family gathering. The 2023 Alsace blanc achieves the impressive task of balancing roundness and crisp refreshment, and its mouthwatering flavors of lychee, peach, and jasmine offer a perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of dishes, from grilled brats to your favorite bean salad.
