Saint Chapelle Dry Gewurztraminer 05

From the winery: "This is one of our pair of Alsatian-styled whites. It has aromas of peaches and apricots and an unusual (at least for this variety) dryness that makes it a beautiful food wine.

Food affinities: This wine's full body and fruit flavors make it ideal to pair with mildly spicy or smoked foods. It is especially nice served as an aperitif, or as a picnic wine with chilled fresh fruit and smoked cheese.
