Quick note for everyone. This is a judgement free zone and an opportunity to enjoy our amazing community, meet friends both new and old, eat good food, drink good wine and all in real life. Please bring what you enjoy drinking and get a chance to enjoy other’s wines as well.

Wondering what the peoples thoughts would be on Gewurztraminer with the duck course? We’d be happy to bring several bottles from dry to sweet as a comparison to reds(pinot) with the duck?
Have a Weinbach Gewurtzraminer Cuvee Theo we could bring, but only 1 bottle, so if Darryl wants to bring one too that might cover the group? We’ll also bring a red of some sort, maybe a Grenache or a new world Pinot for the Peking Duck.
I had a 94 Trimbach Gewurtz SGN last year that wow’d me. I think that anything in that style would be prefect with either course.
I actually have a 94 Zind Humbrect Pinot Gris Urbain VT that could be an be a fun contrast if people are interested. Or I can just bring some riesling.
Shh, don’t tell anyone about the 94s from Alsace …
Considering the other choices, and looking at a few things I’d like check in on, we can bring:
2013 Dönnhoff Gewürztraminer trocken Private Reserve
2007 Domaine Weinbach Gewurztraminer Cuvée Laurence - for style comparison to Theo
2016 Zind-Humbrecht Gewurztraminer Roche Calcaire Lot 17G
2012 Theo Minges Flemingen Herrenbuckel Gewürztraminer Auslese
Quick update and keep 'em coming. If I got anything wrong, let me know.

The Gewurztraminer diversion doesn’t we were subtracting the others previously mentioned, will still bring the 2019 Dönnhoff Oberhäuser Brücke Riesling Spätlese magnum and the Marguet Champagne Grand Cru Shaman 16 … just to make sure we have enough wine.
