From the Correspondence
Autumn in Alsace arrives with a whisper and a flame: church spires above russet vineyards, canals dark as polished ribbon, half-timbered houses glowing in the dusk. In the cellars, wine tastes of sun held over long afternoons. Outside, the air is crisp enough to sharpen every bell, every footstep, every folded leaf.
