Torres, Catalunya (Spain) “Viña Esmeralda” 2009

($14, Dreyfus, Ashby & Co.):  The blend–Moscato (85%) and Gewürztraminer–explains the floral, spicy character of this wine.  The aromas suggest sweetness, but it really isn’t.  Bright acidity keeps it balanced and makes it easy to drink throughout a meal.  Try it with highly spiced dishes that use Chorizo sausage or chili peppers because it will cut through anything. 88 Michael Apstein Oct 19, 2010
