Gewurztraminers are about the only whites I drimk so I'm not much help, normally I don't even taste the whites when we are out wine tasting, but since we will be spending Easter vacation on the Central coast and plan on doing a couple days of tasting in Paso, I think I'm going to add them into my tastings again.

Try Rose while you're at it Michael. I find them very refreshing on a nice sunny evening.

Ken, if your wife likes Rieslings, she might also like a good Tokaji / Tokay. Its an Eastern European variety.

I love Royal Tokaji Desert wines. Fine stuff. Stick with 4 Puttonyos or higher to make it a decent value.

 Quote:
Generally speaking, when people talk about Tokaji, they’re talking about botritized dessert wines, made from the native grapes Furmint and Harslevelu as well as Muscat. These days there are some dry whites and late harvest sweet wines as well; for the richer style, look for the words “Aszú” or “Puttonyos” on the label. “Aszú” means botrytis, the noble rot that plays a part in concentrating the sugars, flavor, and acidity of the grapes. “Puttonyos” reveals how sweet and rich the wine is, and hints at the special process used in making the wine.

The newest gadget for white wine drinkers. http://www.vinturi.com/products/vinturi_for_red.html
The white wine aerator.

Is this stuff snake oil? I've got a friend with a red wine aerator. While admittedly I'm decidedly not a wine 'enthusiast', I really could tell much difference.

I have the Vinturi for Red wine and find it does a great job of aerating the wine straight to the glass. My friends and I that have used it found there there is a noticeable difference on freshly opened bottles of wine when using the Vinturi vs pouring straight from the bottle.

AFAIK, Chess and Mike have done double blind tests, and they've reported definite differences.
