Pillitteri Estates Gewürztraminer Riesling 2003

Pillitteri Estates Gewürztraminer Riesling 2003

We've had, and enjoyed, this wine at The Willow on Wascana, a new restaurant here in Regina (although at $7 a glass or something like that, it's more than a tad overpriced there). That was one reason we bought it. The other was that we needed an inexpensive Gewürztraminer to make a recipe from John Ash's cookbook From The Earth to the Table that called for a cup (!) of Gewürztraminer. The Pilletteri Estates Gewürztraminer Riesling was about $14--not quite the cheapest, but since we wanted to be able to drink it, too, and we already knew we liked it, it seemed like the best bet. John Ash recommends a Gewürztraminer with this dish and (not surprisingly, considering his pedigree!) was absolutely correct. The dish was delicious and the wine complemented it perfectly. Well worth buying, either for drinking on its own, or for accompanying a suitable dinner.
