We've stopped in at this winery several times over the years, and going through the tastings here to us have felt hit or miss... That sounds bad, but I actually love that... Wineries that put out consistent but mundane wines lack soul in my opinion... Anyway, back to the wine at hand... The color here seems deeper and more amber than the average gewurtz... On the nose, this feels like cantaloupe, ripe peach and mineral... Is this an "orange nose"? On the palate, that stone fruit comes to life, but I'm still leaning cantaloupe here... Sage... Minerality to be sure... There's a suggestion of sweetness here that makes me wonder if in fact this is off-dry... I'm not getting as many herbal notes as is typical of gewurtz, but that sage again stands out. A dry herb feel. Why am I thinking about those peaches that have a donut shape? Medium body with less than medium acidity. I don't know what I would pair food-wise here... Is it sweet? Is it dry? A pairing is complicated... Maybe just go with a glass of wine all by itself in an Adirondack chair in the garden... The length of the finish is long almost reminiscent of Dr. McGillicuddy's peach schnapps but with a sweetness like a Bellini from Milestones back in the day. Yes. This is a Bellini finish. I actually do enjoy it. — 2 years ago

Couldn’t tell which grape this smelled like, La Crescent or something else. Overripe yellow pear and Meyer lemon flavors. Fantastic color. — 5 years ago

Another super interesting wine by Deirdre Heikin. This blend is 90% Marquette and 10% La Crescent. Two northern american grape variety and the wine shows that non vitis vinifera varieties can make very good wine. The nose is a bit foxy at first, and the taste is then very interesting, good acidity level, slightly sour, notes of herbs and berries but still very round. This profiles definitely reminds me of alpine wines such as Mondeuse or even l’Etraire de la Dui, although these are vitis vinifera.

Sign of a real good wine: this bottle only got better on day 2 and 3...

Great job by pionneer La Garagista! — 6 years ago

So akin to the la crescent varietal. Noble peach, delicate honey, wisps of garrigue. Loved this! — 10 months ago

Blend of hybrid varieties Frontenac Gris (25%) and La Crescent (75%) from a vineyard in Vergennes, in the Champlain Valley (Vermont). Very good, complex. You could not tell these are hybrid varieties — 3 years ago

La Crescent was so good. White that is not too sweet, not too dry. Yum! — 4 years ago

Cola brown with limited hairdo. Disembodied flying bubble-eye pops to galactic swirl and water Buffalo horns in a crescent then ghost trail. Gingerbread cupcake intro sports chunks of candied ginger and a ginseng twang surfing a graham cracker and date aspect. Nice bitter cinnamon bite to start the palate. Allspice and saffron bring their bitter sweets turning trick to treat and brown sugar mixes it up with spiced tea to bring it all home. Pumpkin is very prominent here, to appease the complainers, which is nice! Stop the bellyaching! .

Just had to try this delicious wine again. From Liguria on a long crescent-shaped sliver of mountainous coastline ranging from the French border in the west to that of Tuscany in the east. Pale lemon with pronounced aromas of stone and tropical fruits, spending 4 months on its lees. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and citrus zest, crisp with lively vibrant acidity and mineral notes. Medium+ finish ending with a spicy flinty character. Nice! — 6 years ago
