A couple weeks ago Pris opened up a bottle of Messina Hof 2005 Gewürztraminer for her sister Mel and her husband. They tend to like sweeter wines and Pris was trying to broaden their horizons. Pris and I went through a really long Riesling phase a few years back, and we do enjoy our dessert wines from time to time, but we don't usually do sweet wines much anymore.Since the Gewürztraminer was open I decided to have a glass with some dessert the other day. The Gewürztraminer waseverything I thought it'd be. This wine has a heavy floral nose that jumps out at you right away. Its sweet and light, with a slightly syrupy finish that lingers nicely. The heavy sugars are out in full force in this wine, but it is a dessert wine.
We picked this wine up at H.E.B., and Messina Hof wines can be found at most of our local liquor stores. It runs about $10 a bottle. You can find out more about Messina Hof's Gewürztraminer at: http://messinahof.com
