($14, Quintessential Wines):  In Alsace, a wine labeled Pinot Blanc can be a blend of that grape and Auxerrois.  The latter is often used to lend fatness to the wine.  Lorentz’s, a blend of Auxerrois (90%) and Pinot Blanc, has the telltale richness of Auxerrois while maintaining great green apple-like freshness.  It could easily be enjoyed as an aperitif, but has enough guts to match simple seafood, too. 89 Michael Apstein Jun 26, 2012
