Attractive mid-gold color with intense aromas of ripe citrus and stone fruit, strong minerality and hints of spice.

Pierre Sparr 1997 Reserve Tokay Pinot Gris (Alsace)
- Best Buy
- $13
Pungent nose of apple, pear, pine and spice. Sweet forward fruit, with some obvious residual sugar and a rich, full mouthfeel. Good balance and decent acidity keep it from becoming cloying. Finishes long and stylish. Calls for veal or loin of pork. An editors’ choice. Best Buy.

Pierre Sparr 2000 Grand Cru Mambourg Riesling (Alsace)
- $35
An elegant wine that is already showing some age, at least in its aromas. The Mambourg vineyard, at Sigolsheim, with its limestone soil, gives this wine a steely mineral character but also good richness. It should age well over 5-10 years. Imported by W.J. Deutsch & Sons.

Pierre Sparr 2000 Dynastie Brut Sparkling (Crémant d'Alsace)
- $20
This is a fine, mature wine, showing delicious toasty characters, mature fruit and a long, fine line of bubbles. Full-bodied but crisp, it has complex flavors of pears and almonds, plus some minerality. Good as an apéritif wine, but even better with food. Imported by W.J. Deutsch & Sons.
