Posted: 6/24/07 at 7:51pmWe are trying to branch out to other white wines. Any advice on good Gewurztraminers? They seem pricey!

I love it just because I used to have a voice teacher named Gaynor Trammer.
They sort of sound the same.
I don't drink much wine.

Posted: 6/24/07 at 10:04pmI find it way too sweet... the only white wine I like is/are Rieslings.

I just laughed out loud when reading this subject...
I'm not used to reading German words here!

Posted: 6/25/07 at 1:05pmI am not a big fan of Gewurztraminer, as I often drink wine on its own, and generally find Gewurztraminer too sweet. If you like spicy food, however, Gewurztraminers, along with Rieslings and Viogniers, should pair very well.

Funny. I never considered a good Gewurtz to be sweet. Spicy, fruity, a bit bubbly sometimes, but not sweet.
The New York Fingerlakes wineries produce some fine Gewurtz that are modestly priced ($8-$15/bottle). Worth checking out, especially if they have a vintage (ideal growing conditions) year.

Posted: 7/8/07 at 11:13pmWe opened it tonight and I really enjoyed it. It was light, but not too sweet. Mrs. Brd thought it was a little flowery. Not the grapefruit taste of a Cab Sav.
