2006 Londer Anderson Valley Dry Gewurztraminer


Drank this wine for the first time at Bacchus and Venus in Sausalito, CA. The bottle was recommended by the assistant manager named Joe, who had that "look" in is eye before he poured the juice into my glass. His arched brow suggested "you are not going to believe how good this thing tastes". I was skeptical because I'm not a fan of sweet wines...but then he mentioned the words "dry", "stainless steel" and "no Malolactic Fermentation". Hmmmm...a dry, well-balanced, tart Guhvertz was right up my alley. CellarTracker folk like it too.

It's a Slow Decanting Process...

So here it is...another blog about wine. I need a place to collect my thoughts and sift through the soft tannic fruit. I've always enjoyed the beverage, but recently have become passionate about the inner workings of the winery behind the grape. Actually, I'm a little bit more than obsessive about finding special juice produced by special people. Now it's time to decant my thoughts...
