Vins WEIBEL Marcel et Fils — Attraction in Sélestat-Erstein

Well sadly I did not meet the lovely elderly couple, I must have met someone else. So unfriendly and unwelcoming it was almost comical, in fact it was kind of hilarious. He must have had some sort of a bad experience with Irish people before and I’d love to know what they did to him because he threw his eyes up to heaven when he heard where we were from and it went from there. We were brought into a tasting room, asked what we wanted to taste and while he poured the first glass he sat at a table and stared at us. We had to serve ourselves for the rest of the time while he just continued to stare. It was fairly uncomfortable. We bought 2 bottles but we would have bought more had the experience been better because , to be fair, the wines are lovely. Bottom line, nice wine but if you’re looking for a warm welcome and you meet this lad,...

Et Bien globalement positive la dégustation est très généreuse et les prix attractifs. Nous n’avons pas été reçues par Marcel mais par son fils qui était déjà dans la cave en train de travailler le vin cueilli récemment. Personnalité certainement plus attachante qu’en apparence : un peu sarcastique, mais à pris le temps de nous faire goûter ses vins. Même si nous lui avons laissé pour près de 200 euros il nous a fait comprendre qu’il a des clients bien plus importants. D’autre part nous étions 2 femmes il a encore un regard un peu goguenard vis à vis des femmes et pas que les bordelais en ont pris pour leur grade et j’en passe. Enfin plus drôle...

The tasting was led by a very nice older gentleman who didn’t speak a word of English. Still had a great time and got to try and buy all of the wines we wanted. Probably the most authentic winery experience...
