I tried their Madam’s Vines Gewürztraminer a couple of months back and liked it; had another bottle yesterday to compare with this.

Light gold appearance with a light apple-grapefruit nose. Dry light bodied wine with medium-low acidity, straightforward but well balanced citrus. Not an obvious Gewürtz but very drinkable. 14% alcohol. $20.50 at Crosstown (which is beginning to seem a bit overpriced to me). See Lake Breeze Vineyards.

Pronounced floral, grapefruit, and nutmeg notes; a quite distinctive and enjoyable flavour. Medium length. 13.2% alcohol. As with their Riesling, I really [...]
