2006 Fetzer Gewurztraminer
(2008-02-18 03:46:04 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Fetzer Gewurztraminer 88/100

Takes like drinking a slightly browned apple (but not like apple juice). Also getting touch of raisins, honey, and apricot. FYI - I drank it at room temp. Overall, surprisingly good for $6-7, certainly wouldn't avoid it - but kinda boring and too sweet (to cover the lack of complexity I imagine). Not very crisp for a gewurtz (no crisp pear flavor)

2006 Firestone Riesling
(2008-01-11 09:04:12 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Firestone Riesling 85/100

Certainly not bad for a budget Riesling, but simple and underwhelming overall. NOSE - apricot, honey TASTE - very crisp, apricot, pear, loads of honey in the finish and lingering overripe green apple (imagine a slice left out to brown for an hour). MISC - twist off cap
