Spatelese means grapes harvested are riper…. so sweeter.

    Who does not love lobster? I also love crab claws, especially fully prepared so you can just pick em up and eat em.

    I think it’s called Halo Halo… This link will explain it more…
    QOTD: I love lobster, my family does an annual lobster party at the end of every summer, right around the beginning of Maine lobster season.

    QOTD: D’uh! Hope the lobster was good.

    GV…the dessert, depending on where you bud was from, is either halo halo (Filipino) or possibily ice kachang (Malaysia and Singapore).

    Love the lobster, love the gewurztraminer. Never had them together though. I’m excited to try this combo out in the near future.

    I do like lobster, but it is a pain to eat. I also like gewurtz. It is easier to consume.

    QOTD: I’m originaly from a small acadian fishing town in New Brunswick, Canada, where lobster is king! 75 years ago though, my grandfather, a fisherman, would throw them out to sea when they stuck to their nets. They were considered a nuissance, like jellyfish. Nobody ate those creepy crustacians then it seems. Times have changed, I LOVE lobster and you’re so right about pairing gewurtztraminer and lobster, yummy, makes me miss home…

    Lobster is pretty good. I haven’t had it too many times.

    Gewurztraminer on the other hand is awesome. I’ve seen the Dr. Frank before and never felt like dropping so much money on a bottle of Gewurzt. I’m definitely going to get my hands on those other two though.

    Im from an Indian background so basically I’ve had all types of indian food, primarily from the north where my folks are from. Its true gewurtztraminer, some riesling, and also alabariños bring out the complexity and layers of spices in indian food. It also tones down the excessive spiciness and concentrates the flavors.

  • There should have been an italian gweurztraminer there too. I seriously adore the Hofstätter from Alto Adige. From high altitude they have mora acidity which make them better with food. (I think)

  • Nice! Gewurz is one of my favorite whites, I love the generally sweet smells against the slightly spicy, crisp taste — now I gotta see where I can find the hugelheim 🙂
