Our tasting host (and professional chef) Kim Badenhop mentioned his guilty pleasure junk food pairing for this wine, and I will report back after I give it a spin. This Gewurztraminer is made in the dry style that the Anderson Valley is famous for, with bright spice, tangerine, lychee and mixed stone fruit that dance around a stony core. I am always impressed at what this variety can do in this valley.
