Gewurztraminer and the World: Culinary Pairings for Every Palate! Understanding food and wine pairing is a Wine Lover's Dream. In this book Gewurztraminer meets Culinary Delights. We reveal simple key factors worth knowing to match the distinctive wine styles to different cuisines. The book also offers ten delicious recipes that dance perfect with the robust and flavorful grape Gewürztraminer. Each pairing highlights the unique characteristics of the wine.

Gewürz means "herb" or "spice". Treasured for its intense floral and spicy aromas, Gewürztraminer has thrived for centuries in the foothills of the Alps and the Vosges Mountains. This is a very aromatic and intense grape with a wide range of styles. Most of the wines smell sweet, thanks to it's tropical fruit and floral notes, however, many wines are dry and have little to no sugar. The grape is grown in Europe and the "New World" like California and Northern Michigan, New Zealand and Mendoza, the most important wine region of Argentina and in the far south of Chile. In the Middle East, the grape is grown in the Golan Heights.

A Taste of Gewürztraminer is illustrated with beautiful and inspiring pictures, also for each recipe. Although wine can be complicated, the text is easy to read so that the subject wine - food - and recipes, and why the components fit perfectly together, becomes understandable. This is the content of the book. Well read, and cheers.
