Wine Review: This pale yellow colored Gewurztraminer from the Finger Lakes opens with pretty lemon tart bouquet with a hint of lychee. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a gentle tart lychee with notes of pear, papaya and a touch of honey and minerality. The finish is dry and its flavors linger nicely. I would pair this wine with quiche. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Medium intensity with dominant characters of sweet citrus, stone fruits, cooking spices and floral notes. The time on skins and the yeast used add palate weight and texture, while enhancing the mineral undertones. The light touch of sweetness is well balanced by a crisp acidity. Food Pairing: Rich Asian dishes and spicy Indian foods.
