So last night we dined in Colmar with Foulques Aulagnon of the CIVA. The venue was L’Epicurean, and as it was a warm evening, we ate outside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a long day’s tasting, we needed beer. This came in the way of bottles from Brasserie Uberach, an Alsace brewer. La Klintz is a really refreshing wheat beer labelled as a blonde, and Doigt de Dieu is a deep amber ale with nicely sweet and savoury flavours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So then we hit the wine. To match largely with white asparagus starter, a Muscat was chosen. It was the 2010 from\u00a0Kuentz Bas, and showed really well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was followed up with the lovely 2010 Reserve Pinot Gris from Albert Boxler, which provided a lovely match with my rich prawns on a\u00a0black noodle base with some ginger spice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A\u00a0treat was\u00a0to follow: Zins Humbrecht Clos Windsbuhl Riesling 1999. Powerful, rich and crystalline.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a delicious foil to a lovely scallop dish.<\/p>\n

Here’s a nice picture of the three boys on the trip:<\/p>\n
