Can you forgive his Microsoft Paint-quality label? If so, Roland Schmitt will reward you handsomely. His family has been winemaking for almost 400 years, and Roland himself has been doing so since he was 14. (People wonder why deliciousness is so affordable in France -- child labor laws, anyone?) The Glintzberg vineyard butts up against one of Alsace’s most famous grand cru sites, Altenberg de Bergbieten. Less than half-price, age-worthy Grand Cru, anyone? Spicy, slightly off-dry, and aromatic this is the perfect wine for the dinner table.
