Budget Wine of the Week: Fetzer Vineyards Valley Oaks Gewurtztraminer
Monday
Aug 16, 2010
Price: Under $10
Sweet to Dry Scale: 6*
I decided to go with a white this week because it’s been so hot that it’s nice to have something refreshing and cold! This wine is a bit on the tart side, as well as very sweet. It’s a little like liquid honey, so if you’re a dry wine drinker, beware. It would probably overpower most foods if you tried to pair it, so you might want to just use this one for sipping. All in all, not the best white wine I’ve ever had, but I’ve had much worse. If you need a cheap white, this is a decent option!
Bang for your Buck: Not bad.
*The Sweet to Dry Scale tells you just how dry the wine is, based on a number that my husband and I agree on. The higher the number, the dryer the wine. (0=sweet, 10=dry) My husband likes wines that are a 9 or 10. I like wines that are a 7 or 8.
