winemaker's notes:

Due to some grey rot, the bad botrytis, we have selectionned the grapes very carefully when they came to our press room, to avoid the mushroomy flavor which one can detect in numbers of 2006 Alsace wines produced by unskilled or undisciplined wine makers.

The result is a clean and well balanced 2006 Trimbach Gewurztraminer with all its classical fruit and flavors.

Its flavor reminds the lychee and some exotic fruits and it finished dry and spicy, perfectly in the Trimbach style.

Gewurztraminer should be drunk with spicy foods from all around the world; From Chinese cuisine to Indian curries, from sushies to fusion cuisine.It is the only wine able to stand up to spices. One should drink Gewurztraminer with strong cheeses as well, like Munster, Epoisse, or Livarot, as well as blue cheeses like Roquefort, Fourme d’Ambert and Stilton.

I would buy this wine again
I have yet to have a bottle from a bad vintage of this wine. This wine is great for its price range and is a fine example of its type. Love it.

I would buy this wine again
This is a great gewurtz, but I think I bought it in some Bay Area wine shops for closer to $15-16. Might have been an earlier vintage.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
