Perfect pairing. Had it with lemon spaghetti and jumbo shrimp. Fat and lemon combo in the oil based sauce and the acid in the wine was dynamite. Wine had an unexpected rich texture almost like a Chardonnay once it was paired with food. Good without food, but so much better with it. Not overly perfume-y but very rich aromatics. Should have bought 2. Shay: nice balance of citrus and honey.

Played music at a winery yesterday and now I'm enjoying their fun 2012 Gewürztraminer. Aromas of ginger, and ripe rose petals hit me immediately. Then just a hint of jasmine. Took a sip and tasted tart green apple mingling with candied orange- Unique and surprising combo! Took a taste of dry roasted macadamias and then the wine tasted almost exactly like key lime pie. Yummy.
