Chateau St. Michelle Gewurztraminer

Well, I haven't been trying any wines for a bit, been indulging in some other yummy things. But today I decided to crack open a bottle I bought for Thanksgiving and forgot to open.

This one is a Chateau St. Michelle Gewurztraminer.
A what?
Geh-VURTZ-trah-meener.

I like this one, though it's not something I would seek out and buy again. Crisp and acidic, it almost seemed to have a bit of an effervescence. It had a nice aroma, but nothing to really write home about in my opinion.
A bit on the dry side for my liking, but good nonetheless. Some would probably say it's more in the middle, which I guess it is.

I would recommend this one to customers because it is pleasant. A nice wine.

Yellow Tail Sweet Red Roo

Well, here's one I thought I would enjoy but didn't.

Nice bottle. I liked the red, made me think of Christmas.
Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad, just not as sweet as I would have liked, a bit dry for my liking. Though it is a couple days later and as I sit and sip it, I can honestly say I taste the "hints" of black cherries.
I wouldn't buy it again, but it was nice to try. I didn't even get a nice fruity aroma from it. I was disappointed.

I wonder what I should try next.
