STOLO  Gewurztraminer 2017 

(San Luis Obispo County, CA) $25

Gewurztraminer can be like Lady Gaga—flamboyant; captivating; drama as karma. That anyway is what many Alsace gewürztraminers are like. But a new style is beginning to emerge—cold coastal California gewurz. It’s bone dry, cooler in temperament, and lighter, crisper, more mineraly. It isn’t about perfume. It’s more like an ocean breeze—saline, fresh, invigorating. Among the pioneers of the exciting new style: Stolo, a small family-owned estate on the Pacific coast. They make just 275 cases of this gem. PS: it’s stellar with cheese. (12.5% abv)
