W. Gisselbrecht 2000 Vendanges Tardives Gewürztraminer (Alsace)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
The color of polished brass, this mature late-harvest Gewürz features a floral, perfumed bouquet that hints at spice, pine resin and citrus, as well as the more typical rose petals and lychees. An attractive oiliness gives it a mouthcoating feel, countered by a slightly bitter note on the finish. Drink now.

W. Gisselbrecht 2005 Riesling (Alsace)
- Best Buy
- $12
Inherent wet stone and lively citrus entice you with the promise of refreshment. The palate delivers as well with bright green apple and lemon rind. Plump and medium weight in the mouth, it finishes as clean and minerally as anticipated. Imported by Paramount Brands.

W. Gisselbrecht 2007 Riesling (Alsace)
- $15
The nose beguiles, with scents of vanilla, freshly baked bread and wet stones that give way to tones of lemon and apricot on the tongue. This wine is light-bodied and crisp, a good summer sipper. Drink up over the next year, perhaps with a piece of grilled fish.

W. Gisselbrecht 2005 Pinot Blanc (Alsace)
- Best Buy
- $11
A light, dry style of Pinot Blanc, with apple, melon and mineral hints backed by citrus and wet stones that finish crisp and dry. As prices for Riesling and Pinot Gris have edged upward, Pinot Blanc has remained the bargain variety of Alsace, and this is a solid example, best served as an apéritif or with light fish dishes.

W. Gisselbrecht 2004 Pinot Blanc (Alsace)
- Best Buy
- $11
Starts off slightly nutty, but also boasts pear and honeysuckle scents. It’s smooth and easy to drink, with dried spices accenting ripe pears alongside a hint of cashew. Clean, elegant and citrusy on the finish, even if not overly concentrated. Imported by Teton Selections.

W. Gisselbrecht 2004 Riesling (Alsace)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Minerally on the nose, but backed by ample fruit in the form of pineapple, apple and lime scents. Manages to be plump in the mouth, yet tart and citrusy at the same time, finishing long and dry.

W. Gisselbrecht 2002 Franstein Grand Cru Gewürztraminer (Alsace)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
After a somewhat understated bouquet that only hints at lychee and floral notes, this wine grows more assertive on the palate, broadening out and adding ripe pear flavors. Finishes a bit soft, with more lychee flavors.

W. Gisselbrecht 2002 Grand Cru Muenchberg Riesling (Alsace)
- $21
Minty, herbal notes mark the nose, layered over a base of apples and minerals. Lean and a bit ungenerous at first, the herbal, stony, stridently citrusy flavors open up in time to show a touch of honey on the finish.
