Gewurztraminer
$17
Don’t let the hard-to-pronounce name put you off! This is an easy-to-drink wine based in the German style, featuring notes of tropical fruit. Off-dry, deeply flavored and complex, this wine will blow you away with spicy aromas of apricots and pineapple with honeysuckle overtones. We like to pair LaBelle “Gewurz” with sausages and sauerkraut, but it also complements Asian fare or a cheese course.
