Becky's Best Bets - Wine & Cocktails

My philosophy is that any yahoo with a credit card can buy a great bottle of wine when money's no object, so the excitement for me comes from finding a great value, and sharing it with you. After all, a terrific wine is made better when shared with friends. (Same with cocktails!)

Wine of the Week - Pfaffenheim Grand Cru Gewurztraminer 2002


This is a fantastic value! It's $32, and drinks like it's $50. It's well developed and intense, with a deep lemon colour, and aromas of honey, rose, and lychee. It's sweetness is balanced with good acidity. It's medium-full bodied, spicy, rich and full. This is a complex, concentrated Gewurz with a long finish. Remember, you're looking for the 2002 Grand Cru.
