Lucien Albrecht, Alsace (France) Gewurztraminer Reserve 2016

($22, Foley Family Artisan Imports & Spirits):  Gewürztraminer, a wine that consumers either love or hate, can be challenging to order because its level of sweetness varies.  Fortunately, Albrecht has placed a sweetness scale used by many Riesling producers on the back label to guide consumers.  Though they list this Gewürztraminer as medium sweet, I would classify it as a touch sweet because of its riveting acidity and spice.  Floral and captivating — I obvious fall into the “love the wine” category — it’s a great choice for spiced Asian fare or with cheese.
