Wineflock - Alsace Gewurztraminer

Always a fun tasting. Surprisingly the Weinbach's that dominated last time did not show nearly as well this time. Zind was king tonight...

All wines blind as usual.

  Group #5, My #10 - My note say this was Gewurz Rangen... Full golden color. Somewhat off nose of dustry sour apple vinegar. Odd vinegary acidic spice and perfume - not overtly bad, but seemed off to me.
