($25, Quintessential): Gewurztraminer is an idiosyncratic wine — people seem either to love or hate it. Complicating its popularity is an undisclosed level of sweetness, not unlike an impediment to enjoying Riesling. Gustave Lorentz, a classic name in Alsace, makes impeccable wines. This Gewurztraminer is one of them. Dry, aromatic, and spicy, its slightly bitter finish makes it a great companion to Asian or any full-flavored food.
