Terragusto opened only fairly recently in late 2010 or early 2011, I think. But what a great…read moreaddition to Freiburg! Along with Italian and German wines, they sell a number of spirits, from various grappas, limoncellos, and other Italian liqueurs, to Black Forest Obstbrände. They also have fancy Italian sweets and honeys, olive oils, vinegars, pesto, and other Italian foods brought by car from Italy. Generally, you can taste much of what they sell. Quite recently, they even started offering espresso for EUR1 per cup. Not bad, especially for such a good espresso, definitely the best I've had in Freiburg! Of course, it's clear they offer it mainly to draw in potential customers, but it's worth trying. On top of all that, the two guys who usually work there, Adriano and Claudio, are very friendly and knowledgeable about what they sell in the store. You can come in and talk about what they have and they'll be happy to talk as long as you like. Truly a well run store with some great things to offer. And usually cheaper than the nearby Primo Market. Check them out!

This was a great find in Strasbourg! My husband and I had just come from Belgium and were very…read moreimpressed by the selection of Belgian beers. The store labels beers by country so it's very easy to find what you're looking for. I also really enjoyed how they called out Alsatian beers - they had quite a large selection from local breweries. I can't comment on the price (coming from the US, everything seemed like a good deal to me), but this is a great spot if you're looking to try some new beers.

We are traveling the Rhine River this year for the Christmas markets. We were brought here by the…read moretour group and given time to explore the town. Wanting to try the wine that they are famous for we searched out a place to sample. Several people suggested we try Hugel wines. We were greeted as soon as we entered by a friendly lady who offered us a chance to sample their wines. 2-3 tastes later we had picked out a bottle to take with us. The town it's self is decorated for the season and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and I'm sure we will have fond memories of a great time when we open the bottle we picked up

Loved Riquewihr. Loved tasting Hugel wines. The whole village was such a dream. Can't wait to go…read moreback.

Looking for a great place to try a little wine and cheese? If you find yourself in Strasbourg, then…read morelook no further than Terres a Vin. With more than 3000 wines on their wine list and a plethora of cheeses and other foods to enjoy them with, this should be on your list of places to check out when in Strasbourg. We stopped by with a group of 8, and were immediately made to feel welcome as we entered the quaint spot. While they did not have the first couple of wines we chose, they did come through with the others that we chose and then paired that with some amazing cheese. While French is the language of the land, we were quickly laughing with the locals as we tried to recall our college French and were happy to see that what we ordered was what appeared on our table! Total per person was very reasonable (about $20 Euro per person). The room is divided up into some comfortable seating areas with leather couches and bookcases, and they also have tables and chairs (including one large table for 10) if you want to gather round to talk. And the bathrooms? Super clean and pleasant. A lucky find for sure!

It's a great wine bar/store, where the owners know their wines really well…read more Tucked away from the city center brouhaha in a small square, this store boasts one of the best selections of wines in downtown Strasbourg. While it doesn't serve any real food - just cheese and charcuterie boards, the wine selection and the interior is well worth the stop, just as the advice of the owners if you are seeking to purchase a good bottle of wine, consistent with your tase and ranging anywhere from 10 to 1000 euros. All in all, that's a great place with nice and sometimes spaced-out owners, that I can but recommend, both for the quality of wines and the coziness.

It was really tough to choose so few as they have so many different Alsatian wines! The 2 cremants were SPECTACULAR, especially for the price! Then, we moved onto 2 Rieslings and 2 Pinot Gris! I must say that we thoroughly enjoyed each one, and I can be quite snobby when it comes to wine. Our server was super friendly and helped guide us through our choices and answered any questions that we had. Her English was definitely better than our French, and much appreciated! We highly recommend this stop... and wolfberger doesn't just stop at wines... they make spirits, liqueurs, and even beer!!! Wow!!! Would buy a bit of each if we lived on this side of the Atlantic!!!

We've been at the Wolfberger Winery in Eguisheim not long ago and stocked up on come good Crémant…read more Wolfberger has an amazing value. A 12 Euro bottle tastes as good as a 50 Euro Champagne. We were on the way home to Switzerland, did some shopping in E.Leclerc and passed this Boutique by accident. Couldn't resist but to stop by and get some more of the good stuff. As the one in Eguisheim this also is a very nice, stylish Boutique and tasting room. Friendly and helpful staff. Our Bulldog was welcome inside as well. We didn't do a tasting though this time, we had to get going. But we bought a sixpack of Wolfberger Pink Crémant. And a sixpack of the Brut Révèrence IX. An amazing Crémant. A bit more expenisve than the regular. But only a few Euros more. And worth it. This is outstanding Crémant. It's not easily available in shops, so get some if you can get your hands on it. But of course in the Wolfberger Boutiques and Winery you'll find it. A quick stop only this time. But we got what we came for. We'll be back. Definitely.
