“Ga-wat-tra-meener?“
Yeah, that was me attempting to repeat the name of this variety of white wine when it was recommended to me by a very knowledgeable wine guy at Trader Joes. You can see I’m a bit out of my element in the white wine varietals department. I said I was a foodie, not a white wine connoisseur.
Anyway, we brought this to a friend’s house for dinner last night and though none of us were regular white wine drinkers we all agreed the wine tasted like one that would probably cost twice what I paid for it…so who cares if you can’t pronounce it!
For your consideration: Found Object Gewurztraminer
Gewurztraminer is highly aromatic and definitely not subtle so I’d recommend you pair it with something spicy like Indian, Chinese or Mexican foods.
$4.99 at Trader Joes.
Happy Friday!
What about you? Have any sub-$10 favorites?
from the comments, back then.
My husband (who speaks German) says to pronounce the “w” like “vee” and the “i” like “eee.” Then you say it perfectly! I think this wine is an acquired taste – I prefer the more subtle Riesling. But good for you – you tried something new!
