    I was pleasantly surprised with this wine! I was expecting it to be sweet. Instead we enjoyed a delicious, full-bodied Gewurtztraminer.

    I love this wine, it has a lot of flavor without being too heavy. It also has the perfect balance as far as just having a hint of sweetness. It has a little kick too it as well. Will reorder once I am through with my cross country move.

    We did not like it, not a great way to start with the club. It tasted kind of grapefruitty (on bitter side) and gritty at the finish. We are "Chard" fans, please do not send more Gewurtztraminer.

    Though well structured it lacked the balance between acidity and tannins that a wine of that varietal needs. It is a wine that could actually stand a year in the cellar. The fruit forward structure does linger, after swallowing a taste, inhale and exhale through the nose. The taste replicates itself. Normally you'd see this paired with a reisling for a meal, but this would actually stand alone at the grill. To bad I couldn't give it a 3.5 - 3.75.

    I am sorry to say, but I did not like this wine. The first time I tried it was with cheese fondue and the second time was with a chicken pasta. Neither food/wine pairing was good. However, I then tasted it with sugared almonds and I was at least able to drink it. Next time.
