A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This duo is a perfect example how the mighty have fallen and illustrates well why the Sudtirol is my go-to area for good GWT to accompany Tart l'Alsacienne or ChoucrouteGarni. The Willm Reserve GWT used to be one of my favorite/go-to great/cheap/easy-drinkin' Alsatian GWTs. Ohhh...how the mighty have fallen. This was waaay too sweet to accompany any Alsatian fare. The Walch was not a profound example of AA GWT, but it was far more engaging than the Willm.

When was Willm ever good?

When was Willm ever good?

It was at one time David. The A.Willm Clos Gaensbrœnnel GWT VendangeTardive (14%) '59 was my introduction to the glories of great Alsatian GWT. I used to buy it in KansasCity when I got interested in wine for about $16 in the late '60's. It was rich/lush/intense and totally dry. This is when, by crackey, in the good ole days when most Alsatian GWTs of the current vintage were around $3-$4/btl. Totally dry, absolutely delicious...and did I mention cheap?? Alsace became my go-to white wine. Did I mention they didn't cost very much...ideal for a poor graduate student.
