Winery in Heiligenstein

After taking the obligatory stop at Mont St. Odile, we went through Obernai for lunch and looked around just a little bit (we’ll have to go back). Eventually we made it to Heiligenstein, whose specialty is a wine called Klevener. It’s a white wine that falls between a Tokay or Pinot Gris, but it was very good and probably not readily available in the US.

Like most wine tastings in Alsace, you have to basically just knock on the door of someone’s house to ask where there is a tasting – I have yet to find one that charges.
