By Jonathan Palevsky | Posted in Host Blogs, Word on Wine | Comments Off on 5-29-17 Word On Wine 2 Worthy Alsatians!

This week Mary and I reviewed these two lovely sparkling wines from Alsace!  The Meyer Fonne Brut Extra was a little extra but really lovely.  The Willm was a bit cheaper…still solid but not as interesting.  Both are nice deals at $17 and $14! Here’s our show…Enjoy!
