Father and son, Etienne and Jean-Frédéric Hugel represent the 12th and 13th generations of the Hugel winemaking family in Alsace. Famille Hugel is leading a Riesling revolution to spread the word about how beautifully their Riesling, and other Alsatian wines, complement modern tastes and cuisine. Listen to the podcast to learn more about the Hugel family, why the "wines of Alsace are a cultural bridge between France and Germany", and Riesling's incredible aging capability - they recently opened a bottle from 1865 that was "still absolutely stunning."
