67. Back in Alsace with David Neilson
from By The Glass Hosted by Chris Poldoian
David Neilson runs the popular Back In Alsace website and Instagram page. When David moved from Edinburgh to Strasbourg, he fell in love with the natural wines of Alsace. In addition to wine writing, David helps manage Raisin, the preeminent natural wine app. In today's episode, David and Chris open a bottle of Eric Kamm's 2020 Fusion Riesling to discuss the most exciting parts of Alsatian wine culture. They also talk about the restaurant scene in Biarritz, Copenhagen siphoning the rest of the world's Jura allocations, the popularity of skin-fermented white wines, the dichotomy between cremant d'Alsace and pet-nat, the recent rollout of the "vin méthode nature" designation, generational shifts at heritage wineries, and the role of wine fairs in a pandemic.
