Staff Pick Notes

From the beautiful Finger Lakes, upstate New York, this is a very pleasant orange wine. It's a blend of Gewurztraminer and Riesling. It's a skin fermented wine and it's unfiltered. Bloomer Creek really believes in natural winemaking and practices: harvest is made by hand and wild yeast is used. Kim and Debra started to work in vineyards back in 1978 but in 1999 they bought some land and started planting their own vine. Before that, Kim went to California to study enology and improve his knowledge. Debra is also an artist, showing his work nationally and internationally. This wine is fresh, with peach and honey and delicate ginger notes notes. A refreshing and well balanced orange wine. Rustic and elegant at the same time.

They are careful to retain the delightful honeyed, flinty flavors that the best sweet Rieslings have always displayed. Alsace, of...

Gewürztraminer

You won't likely forget your first "Gewürz," as they're some of the most distinctive and recognizable wines in the world. They are usually heavily perfumed with rich lychee and rose aromas. The variety is cultivated all over the world, but the best examples tend to come from Alsace: these are full-bodied wines with a golden color. The pink-skinned Gewürztraminer does best in cooler climates, which allow the grapes to develop good balancing acidity. This is a necessary attribute of any...
