Pannonhalmi Apatsagi Pinceszet “Tramini” Gewurztraminer 2006

 

 

Pannonhalmi Apatsagi Pinceszet, Pannonhalmi Apatsagi Pinceszet…trips off the tongue, doesn’t it?  Try saying it 3 times real fast!

I would join you, but I far prefer drinking it.  And drink it I did, when my husband brought a bottle home on recommendation from our ever-dependable neighborhood wine shop proprietress.  "Your wife likes Gewurtzaminer, right?  Here, try this."

Hailing from Pannonhalma, Hungary, Drink Up New York reports that this wine is grown in a single vineyard, and fermented in stainless steel.  Dry and perfectly acidic, this is a wine that we will be coming back to this summer.  At $12.99 per bottle here in Brooklyn, I have no problem with my husband straying from the $10 and under section when coming home with a treat like this.
