Wine Review: This white gold colored Gewurztraminer is very impressive. It opens with a fragrant and appealing apricot and lychee bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced and slightly sweet. The flavor profile is a delicious ripe pear with notes of lychee. I also detected hints of minerality, fig and quince. The finish is semi-sweet and its flavors linger and last for quite a while. This Excellent Gewurz would pair well with chicken lo-mein. Enjoy – Ken

This is an excellent match for fish in spicy sauces (ginger sauce, This is an excellent match for fish in spicy sauces (ginger sauce, etc.), smoked salmon, dishes with sweet and sour sauce – most ethnic cuisine (Thai, Indian and Chinese), as well as strong cheeses.
