    Thank you for publishing this wine series on TH-cam else I would have never known about it.
    I know and enjoy cabernet sauvignon, red wines some Merlot but never even heard of pinot gris.
    I could not imagine that Alsace's cellars still have wines that was produced in the 1830s, that was 30 years before the civil war !
    I have learned so much about wines and the video was produced back in 2002.
    Michael Fagan is a nice narrator, I wish to see him in future productions.

    you should come to the Torino area and try my Sigmund wine, coming from a vineyard that is 98 years old and that I recued from distruction 12 years ago, when I bought the house and land. This vineyard was part of the land and the "Regione Piemonte" wanted to force me to eradicate it, because it was not well kept. So I decided to run the risk and invest in the vineyard, working very hard for 12 years, but the work was worth its risk... I liked your video, nicely done! Keep it up

    I was visiting the town of Kaiserberg and a gentleman said to me "Do you like wine?" And he invited me to the cellar. I told him I wasn't looking to purchase. He said to me "I don't want you to buy, I want you to taste our wine!" And taste we did. God that stuff is good.
    My suitcase was filled with it. I declared it all at cdn customs and they let me keep it all no hassles 🤩😍

      +chris2586 It's a strong wine which can affront a Thai dish with gingember and chiles, try the "normal" one, some are rather dry ... if it was a vendages tardives, or pourriture noble which are very peculiar by their strength (I love it), sweetness and alcohol (16% easily) you have been overwhelmed as it's a "liquor" wine. Gewurtz vendanges tardives is an almost dessert wine for desserts, foie gras, spicy food, strong cheeses. Try it with oysters also. Or dark chocolate, at least 60% cacao, you'll be surprised. You can compare it with a all natural 6 feet 180 pounds girl with big appetite.

I have had a tiny my own experimental vineyard in Poland and testing over 30 different species. Nowadays all new species are energetically modified.I like them because I don't like spray program.My Uncle sprayed his vineyard over 10 times per year .The world has changed and I prefer not to drink sprayed ones.It dosen't matter if they are genetically modified .However they are not popular and many people stay against these programs.

    So, being from close to Strasbourg, but still the german side, I have to correct 2 things. You should get better information before doing a video…
    1. Alsace has not just being occupied by Germans. The first 1000 years Alsace was part of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation. After the 30 years war it was first annexed by Louis XIV. In 1871 and 1940 Alsace was occupied by Germans afterwards. But the first people in Alsace where still Germans (nothing against our French broders, I totally agree that it is French nowadays).
    Landau, a german City on the border, was occupied 200 years by France, French solidere destroyed almost the whole west of Germany, but that has passed and doesn’t matter anymore. The only thing about that is that people always want to show Germans as the bad occupiers. Get proper information please!
    2. Alsace the sunniest region in France ? Bullshit 😅 it’s the driest and also one of the sunniest, but still 800 hours less than the Mediterranean.
    That being said there is some good material in the documental. I feel at home on both sides of the Upper Rhine and am very happy to have this border less friendship with France! 🇩🇪🇫🇷✊
