Gewurztraminer has its detractors out there, yet I remain a fan. This flight features two regions that embrace this variety, Mendocino County’s Anderson Valley and sunny Alsace in the eastern reaches of France.<\/p>\n

Handley Anderson Valley Gewurztraminer 2006<\/strong>
\nThis wine radiates roses and parfume, in a light-bodied format with a hint of RS, classic touch of bitterness and a little warmth when up to room temperature. P&B in Philo 14.2% $13.99 at Bottle Barn Handley<\/a><\/p>\n

Domaine Zind Humbrecht Alsace Gewurztraminer 2005<\/strong>

Produced and bottled at the domaine in Turckheim 14% $19.95 at Traverso’s.<\/p>\n
