[net.wines] Good American Gewurztraminer?

heuring@uiucdcsb.CS.UIUC.EDU (03/16/86)

I have been "consuming" several different American Gewurztraminers and
have been satisfied with very few so far.  By far the best was a late
harvest from "Chateau Ste. Michelle" but it was a late 70's vintage
and is difficult to get currently.  I am currently trying a more
recent vintage from Chateau Ste. Michelle.  Does anyone have any 
suggestions for American Gewurztraminers?

I would suggest Gewurztraminers from the Anderson valley, which is
about an hour or so south of Mendicino.  My favorite is Navarro; others
include Husch and Edmeades.  Navarro also bottles a nonalcoholic Gewurtz
grape juice - very sweet.  Also try the Navarro Sauvignon Blanc - it
is similar to the Gewurtz but much drier.

Rutherford Hill (not Rutherford Vineyards) makes an excellent Gewurtz.
It has been pretty consistenly excellent over the four to five years
I've been drinking it (not the same, but always good).  Navarro is very
good, too.
