Even thought its the middle of winter and -3 degrees out, I decided that white wines can still shine. I pulled out The Furst - Pinot Blanc 2004 from the Vin de' Alsace region of France. Its light and clean with moderate acidity. It finishes off very rich tho, like a Chardonnay or Gewurtzaminer but without the heavy oak. This wine will go well with a pasta dish or seafood. Crab legs or lobster would be perfect. You may be able to pair it with something spicy, there is a sweetness to it but I wonder if it might be a little acidic.

I am holding off on the Austrian whites until summer since a few of them will taste much better when the weather is on the warmer side.
