Gewurztraminer Dry

Tried this during in October and was very surprised. Have always thought of Gewurztraminer as a sweet wine. Love this wine

I normally drink semi-sweet wine until I tried Wagner's Gewurztraminer Dry. This is by far the Best Wine I have ever had. I bought a case while visiting the vineyard but it didn't last. I have ordered more cases and will need to order several cases for the holidays. I travel a lot thru Europe there simply is no comparison to this wine. I have even stopped ordering wine while at restaurants rather than be disappointed with their wines. Gewurztraminer is a must have for any occasion or meal.

I've been to Alsace and tasted its wines. This one is comparable. I worked for Bill Wagner in the mid-70's, helping construct the winery, pruning vines and planting 9549's. So pleased to see the great success of Wagner!

Of course, we all know that German monks traveling through France in the early 1600's found a grape they loved in the (now famed) Alsace Region and brought it back to German soil in Southern Austria in the village of Tramin. Gewurz is the German word for "spicy" and thus the Gewurz-tramin-er grape and wine were born. They tend to be spicy and floral - and some so overly floral that they are hard to drink - BUT NOT this one from Wagner Vineyards. It is a splendid blend of almost roses with a hint of spice and perfect for any spicy dish or for your annual Thanksgiving table. Wagner's has done it again with this popular Finger Lakes and world grape.

The only Gewurtz I will drink in the whole damn country.
