Summerhill Pyramid Winery Kissed Gewurztraminer 2002


Summerhill Pyramid Winery Kissed Gewurztraminer 2002

We had this at the Willow on Wascana restaurant, where we were celebrating Margaret Anne's birthday (for the second or third time--hey, why not?). Although it was highly praised by one of the restaurant's co-owners, we weren't overly impressed. It was very dry, almost sharp, rebuffing your palate instead of welcoming it in. We've had many other Okanagan Valley Gewurtzes we enjoyed more. Our rating: 5/10.

P.S. Ed loves the label, though, since it ties in with that whole fantasy-and-science-fiction-writing thing he does. (Visit www.edwardwillett.com for more details). The artwork is by the great fantasy artist Brian Froud. So the rating for the label is 9/10.
