Chateau Ste. Michelle 2010 Gewurztraminer Columbia Valley

“Recommended Wine for New Years Day Brunch”  Yahoo! - December 22, 2011

A cool, fruity glass of Chateau Ste. Michelle 2010 Columbia Valley Gewurztraminer is a nice way to start a mid-morning brunch. This "Gewurz" has a crispy finish that balances the floral, fruity aromas and flavors. Perfect for Pepper Jack cheese, any oysters, shrimp or crab cakes on the menu or just a nice wine to refresh the palate and enjoy with good conversation.

“Thanksgiving Wine Pairing Recommendation”  Press Democrat - November 23, 2011

Our Wine of the Week, Chateau Ste. Michelle 2010 Columbia Valley Gewurztraminer ($9), is the sort of wine that can bring harmony to your holiday table. It's off-dry, with a forward sweetness that engages beautifully with the flavors of Thanksgiving, especially pumpkin, sweet potatoes, cornbread and such. Yet it is not so sweet as to be cloying and has a clean brightness on the palate. Both wine novices and all but the most pretentious wine geeks will enjoy this wine. This varietal is accessible, light on the palate, pretty and refreshing, qualities that engage even individuals who are new to the pleasures of wine. When it comes to pairing this wine with foods other than those on a traditional holiday table, think spice, especially the spices in Thai, Vietnamese and Indian foods. Its floral qualities will flatter and be flattered by the aromatic notes of Indian curries. It can stand up to the heat of Thai, Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian dishes, as well, without turning bitter. Vietnamese noodle salads and Thai curries are great matches. If you like Dungeness crab with sweet accompaniments -- mango, for example -- this wine is a great accompaniment. For today's recipe, I'm putting sweet potatoes, part of many Thanksgiving meals, into a different context, a rich and aromatic soup scented with nutmeg, chipotle and both white and black pepper.
