Gewürtztraminer? I hardly know 'er! Taking some shots for a future podcast with this grape, featuring a 2013 from Alsace, the 2014 from @azstronghold that won best in show from the AWGA, and a 2015 from @newportvines. #Gewürtztraminer #opaalsatianstyle #azwine #rhodeislandwine #alsacianwine #wine #azwinemonk #winemonkinthetrunk #winemonkvacation #stonewalls #newportvineyards #newengland (at Tiverton, Rhode Island)

The Gemini Red is probably my favorite red here at @newportvines, hands down. Balance between fruit, spice, acidity, and light tannins. Taking this home for the next hipster varietal party as it includes Landot Noir in the blend, along with Merlot, Cab sav, and cab franc. #thewinemonkabroad #winemonkinthetrunk #winemonkvacation #newportvineyards #rhodeislandwine (at Newport Vineyards)

2015 Gewürtztraminer from @newportvines. Also very Alsatian in mode, a little sweeter and less creamy rosewater notes than I remember from the @azstronghold '14. I may add this for a podcast... #winemonkinthetrunk #winemonkvacation #Gewürtztraminer #opaalsatianstyle (at Newport Vineyards)

This seems like a good general introduction to Arizona wine for @hchristina... Malvasia Bianca, Sangiovese, and a Cab Franc/Merlot blend. I may have a Tempranillo or Tannat I can throw in too... #azwine #winemonkinthetrunk #sundown #arizonawineevangelism
