| 75 | | | 91 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Dry wines aren't exclusively the best choice with turkey. One may use a well-balanced sweeter wine as well, but it must have some acidity to cleanse the palate and enliven the food. Just such a wine is this Gewürztraminer from New Zealand, which does superb ines with that grape. Showing a lovely medium gold color, t.This one is full-bodied and voluptuous, but neither as sweet nor as rich as a dessert version. Yet it could carry the meal. The aromas target the classic characters of the grape: spice; lychee nut, and less of the rose petal--with flavors that grab a mouthful of sweet yellow and white stone fruits. Clean acidity allows the palate to stay alert. Serve moderately chilled, about 55°F/13°C in tall tulip-shaped white wine glasses. Foods: pumpkin ravioli with aromatic spices in the filling, butter and toasted pine nuts; shrimp/crab ravioli with a curry cream sauce; roast turkey breast with mashed sweet potatoes seasoned with nutmeg and cinnamon; stuffing with some curry accents; strong creamy cheeses, such as French Münster, ginger snaps or ginger-influenced desserts that aren't too sweet, such as a pumpkin roulade.
