Auxerrois... The spellchecker recommends "Terrorist" but my research indicates that this sweeter white is both a relative of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. It is a chameleon of a grape being called Pinot Auxerrois or Auxerrois Blanc in addition to a few others. This wine is a Vin D'Alsace created for our pleasure along the French and German border in Alsace of course.And as we would expect for a wine made near Germany this is very much like a dry Reisling or Gewurztraminer. Syrupy honey up front, fades into a light snap and is followed by a warm dry finish. Its a nice wine for a mere $16.99.
