 Riesling from Andre Blanckh by sniem
The winery of Andre Blanck is in Kietzheim two towns after Riquewihr. He is very nice and speaks French and German, don't know of any more languages since I haven't tried.
Taste the wines first then you'll know what you like most. I love the Riesling especially the Grand Cru Schlossberg. The Cremant d'Alsace (champagne) is also fantastic and he has several kinds of schnaps, my favourite is the poire de williams
Riesling from 5 to 10 Euro
Poire de Williams 23 Euro Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: Town center KietzheimDirections: When you enter through the medieval gateway it"s just around the corner on the left.

 Alsacian vineyards by tini58de
Since I am no specialist, I can't recommend any wines, but we do have some real specialists here on VT - e.g. MEdelmann. You might want to ask him for advice! Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

Two villages or small towns in North Alsace are famous for their potteries, Betschdorf for its traditional blue/grey design
and Soufflenheim for the more colourful decorations. Betschdorf is very small, but has a pottery museum besides many pottery shops.The museum is in the village centre, 2 rue de Kuhlendorf, open from 10-12 and 13 - 18 , Sundays only in the afternoon, in the summer.
I didn't have time enough to go there, so I cannot tell you anything about it.
The entrance is in the tourist information.
Soufflenheim is the larger of the two villages, but also here the main theme is pottery. Some of the shops and private houses are decorated with very colourful tiles and ornaments. I liked the statue of the four town musicians from Bremen, high up on a roof(picture 3).
Prices differ only a bit and none of the pots, baking dishes, pie pans or ornaments is cheap. This is a craft still done by hand, not by machines, so it has to be expensive. Expect to pay around 18 Euro for a pie pan, the more ornamented the more expensive. My favourite ornaments are the storks, the bird of Alsace.
I looked and browsed in several pottery shops, but spent most of my money in this pottery: J-L Ernewein-Haas on Grand Rue in Soufflenheim.
The dishes are all microwave and oven proof and are supposed to be used in the kitchen, not just as beautiful ornaments on a shelf in the living-room. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftWebsite: Grand Rue, Soufflenheim
