In Alsace with the Confrérie de Saint-Etienne: the FICB wine discovery tour
Some thirty members of brotherhoods affiliated to the FICB, from France, Portugal, Romania, Austria, the United Kingdom and the United States, responded to Jacques Cattin, Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Saint-Étienne d’Alsace’s call, and gathered in Colmar from 16 to 19 October. The programme on offer gave us the chance to savour regional specialities: Baeckeoffe, tarte flambée (Flammekueche), sauerkraut, Münster cheese and Zvatchkawaya (plum tart), accompanied by the seven Alsatian wine varieties: Riesling, Sylvaner, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris,
