Shelley tasted apples and said it was acidic and dry.  It was very different from the Sancerre.  We enjoyed it very much.

My next post will be a comparison between two Gewurztraminers (I waited as long as I could so I didn’t have to write that name!) from Firestone Vineyard, a 2005 and a 2007.  Stay tuned.
