No one can hear me scream

Wikipedia describes “gewurztraminer” as a white wine variety that smells of lychees. Yum.

Very sweet — sweet enough to be a dessert wine — this wine was very Good.

This has been a good week for Northern California wine, but a bad week for my label collection.

Dr. Thomas Fogarty is a professor of surgery at Stanford University, and also runs a winery. This Merlot had a very bright taste (perfect for the sunny daytime wedding reception at which this was served) without the acidity I usually associate with Merlots; subsequent research on their website describes this as “bright acidity”. The taste is very mealy, much more than I would have expected.

This wine was Good.
