That was such a passionate review! I love Gewurz, but find it extremely hard to pair with food. I almost never drink a wine on its own, but for this one it works.

When I was in Alsace last year I got the opportunity to try a 1985 Gewurz from Paul Blanck. It was the most fascinating thing ever; Still super fresh, dry, with herbal aroma's like green tea... Absolutely blew my mind.

wow! what an experience!

My first great bottle, the one in which I fell in love with wine. It was 1974 and I was living in a cabin in the High Sierras for a year to study for medical school. If only I could go back and know the vintage and maker. Simply spectacular.

Love it!!! So aromatic!! I love you picked two of my favorite: Albert Boxler and Union Sacré! I’ll have to try the first one you picked.

So glad!! fantastic!

I love Gerw. On of my favs.

I could just smell Gewurz all day and not drink it. Soooo good!

Gewurztraminer is an amazing cultivar and can make stunning wines, I personally prefer the drier style from Alto Adige. But for pairing with strongly flavored rich Indian cuisine, Alsace Gewurz does the trick for me. An interesting historical footnote here is that after WW1 in Europe the maps and borders were completely redrawn. I would say that most people are fairly familiar with the Treaty of Versailles and what that entailed. What is not so commonly known is that Austria also had to accept the Treaty of Paris-Germain in 1919, ceding Sud Tirol aka Alto Adige to the Italians and other parts to other countries. Though it seems that Gewürztraminer's etymological link to that region is just in name, not in fact.

Love your notes about Paris-German treaty in 1919! The region feels like Germany in Italy... but really, isn't it Tyrolian?

@@Winefolly True, I have asked people from Alto Adige whether they identify as Austrians or Italians and they said: "Neither, we are Tyrolian!"

Another great video, thanks! I just ordered some glasses et al from your site

You're amazing Madeline, thank you for sharing :)

I have been waiting for a video like this since you’re alto Adige video! Very interested in these wines!

Love it! Pairs nicely with choucroute garnie my new years day fav.

Dried rocks! Lol.

I like your energy, we can see that you do what you love :)

Love when I get it in a blind tasting ❤.

I enjoy your enthusiasm.

It's my FAV FAV FAV!

I've had quite a few meh gewurz wines. That is why I generally avoid them. I do love their aromatics.

Actually, I neither love nor hate it, but it's not one of my favorites. Still, it often pairs well with spicy food.

So funny she's clearly a wine lover 😜

Like this video 👍🏼

Thank you 👍

I tried some recently and didn't enjoy much for just one reason - too much promise on the nose which didn't make it to the palate :(

Yeah man, just in time for porch sippin'--taking in the leafy green spirits and warming breezes.

Had my first one a couple of days ago … definitely hate it 😂. So far the first grape I REALLY dislike
