Another Suggestion
_... of a couple of wines a bit fancier than our daily fare.
..
Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 1993 Clos Windsbuhl Hunawihr (Alsace) Gewurztraminer ($25.99)
Clear gold color.
Delicious litchees and grapefruit aromas.
Full, unctuous and intense, fruit flavors follow the nose.
Tart acidic structure and pleasant bitterness in a very long finish.
Importer: Kermit Lynch, Berkeley, Calif.
FOOD MATCH: The flavors go nicely with roast turkey, especially the white meat, but the wine is so intense that it really overwhelms the food.
Foxen 1995 Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir ($23.99)
Clear dark ruby.
Ripe wild cherries and candied fruit aromas, the hallmark of Santa Barbara Pinot, so full and heady that it seems to fill the room.
Big, tart wild-cherry fruit, soft tannins, lemony acidity.
A brawny Pinot, delicious now but may improve still more with time in the bottle.
FOOD MATCH: The wine's tart and intense fruit demonstrates the "cranberry sauce principle," making a perfect match with both the light and the dark turkey meat.
