California winemaker Fetzer has been committed to sustainability for the past 28 years, making this a suitable wine for April to mark the beginning of Earth Month.
Fetzer calls itself “The Earth Friendly Winery” and uses organic practices in growing its grapes. Its wines are not certified organic, however, because it purchases some grapes from other growers. But it encourages customers to farm with limited chemical use.
Gewürztraminer is a German word that means spice grapes. The flavors are similar to a sweet moscato. This has less crispness and zest than other gewürztraminer wines we've sampled, but it's still a good choice for sipping on the porch during these early spring evenings.
Sherry: “Sweet with honey, pear and lime.” 3 stars
Chris: “Flavors of pear, peach and orange.” 3 stars
Available locally for about $8.50
Coming next week: Mark West Pinot Noir Appellation Series
