The region is known for white wines of tremendous clarity, with ripe fruit flavors unseasoned by spicy oak. Josmeyer, one of the area’s greats, is recognized as a leader in the white grapes of the pinot family, and this premium Pinot d’Alsace blend of pinot blanc, pinot gris and pinot auxerrois is a steal this month at a Chairman’s Select price of $11.99. A stunner with seafood, this wine is ideal with rich grilled salmon or garlic shrimp.
