Alsace

Alsace is a very interesting place. Lots of quaint villages with brightly coloured houses surrounded by vineyards. It is a great time of the year to be here as the autumn colours are wonderful, its raining yellow leaves everywhere- something we aren't used to seeing in Australia! The area is known for its white wines and Andrew and I had a merry time tasting the different vareties at 11am the other day. Their reislings are not as sweet as Australia's nor is their muscat a fortified wine. I left the cellar very happy and giggled all the way past several villages! Its unfortunate that we can only take a limited amount of alcohol back to Aust, I could have easily fill two boxes.
