Konzelmann 2006 Gewurztraminer Reserve - $16.95

I have a feeling I was oriental in a past life, Chinese to be more specific. I also believe I liked western food: burgers, fries, hot dogs, you name it - because these days I am getting my karmic comeuppance as I constantly yen for Chinese food. Well I think I have found my wine to pair with the food from the Far East. This Gewurzt is quite tasty and a titch on the sweet side (2), though it does not taste that high. Rose petal, peach and allspice, all tread typical Gewurzt territory for the nose. The palate is lightly dusted with floral notes along with delicate orange blossom and a great spicy finish. Get out the black bean and chicken balls I’m hankering for the Gewurzt.

Summer Selection for Sept. 27, 2007

Thanks so much for this review. I bought the wine today in LA (!) on your recommendation. I'm not sure I was Chinese in a past life, but I know that I eat an awful lot of Chinese food, so this will come in very handy!
