Leon Beyer 2000 Cuvée des Comtes d’Eguisheim Tokay Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- $46
A rich, dry style, packed with spice and deep, almost brooding, fruit. From vines in the grand cru vineyards of Eichberg and Pfersigberg, this wine bears complex flavors of toast, nutmeg and pepper, along with white fruits. Still young, this wine will evolve over the next 5–10 years. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Leon Beyer 1998 Sélection de Grains Nobles Tokay Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- $60
Beyer makes a habit of holding back old vintages of SGN wines, selling them in half bottles. Even for this producer, a believer in dry Alsace wines, the sweetness of this SGN style is impossible to avoid. But the sweetness is tempered by toasty, mature fruit that shows elegance as much as richness, great acidity and botrytis. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Leon Beyer 2000 Vendanges Tardives Half Bottle Tokay Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- $38
In the style of Beyer wines, this is dry, with good acidity. With its rich, concentrated currant flavors, it is likely to age for many years. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Leon Beyer 2000 Cuvée Comtes d'Eguisheim Riesling (Alsace)
- $52
Fruit from the grand cru vineyard of Pfersigberg forms the backbone to this great wine. Petrol and mineral aromas are a great introduction to the bone-dry white fruit, layers of citrus and crisp finishing acidity on the palate. It is still young, and surely needs another 10 years to mature. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Leon Beyer 2000 R Rare Riesling (Alsace)
- $48
This wine comes from the grand cru of Eichberg. This is a great wine, beautifully aromatic, just beginning to show some petrol character accenting its soft, ripe, fresh fruit. This is a delicious wine, one that still has plenty of years ahead of it. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Leon Beyer 2001 Réserve Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- $33
Spicy and full-bodied, but, in the house style of Léon Beyer, also elegant, dry and poised. There is fine, ripe, spicy, slightly toasty fruit that floats over the concentration and richness. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Leon Beyer 2001 Les Ecaillers Riesling (Alsace)
- $37
A great, fresh, clean Riesling that just demands to be drunk. The wine has freshness, crispness, green fruits and balancing acidity. Not very complex, but still delicious. Imported by Martine’s Wines.

Leon Beyer 2003 Riesling (Alsace)
- $18
Attractive aromas of spring flowers set the scene for this light, fresh wine. White peaches and citric flavors give the wine a good lift. This is an easy, apéritif style of Riesling. Imported by Martine’s Wines.
