Nose clean and tart, almost champagne like, taste and finish, light sweetness with clean dry taste and finish, what a great wine with our Food. I should have chilled it a little more, but good.

This 2014 Gewurztraminer is still very much as fresh and dry as the day we picked it up three years ago. No question that the 2016 community end-date is significantly off, and putting forward 2019.

We liked our second bottle better than the first, and I believe it had everything to do with the food that was served alongside. Our first consumption was with Thanksgiving dinner, which had high sugar content in many of the sides and very little fat on the turkey; that ended up being a less than ideal pairing with this particular bottle. The second time, we tried this with deliciously marbled pork chops and a decadent mustard-leek-and-cream reduction - oh my. A completely different experience! I think you need to serve this dry gewurtz with a fatty dish in order to get the best experience. I feel like I drank two different bottles of wine, and much enjoyed our second time around. Delicious!
I didn't like this as much as I did when I tried it at Dutton-Goldfield tasting room - there was a sharp minerality to the finish that I didn't remember. However, it was a good complement to our thanksgiving turkey. I think it goes better with food than alone.
