We have a Gewürztraminer in the fridge

Ok!

Which accounts for the name; "Pacific Rim".

Who else likes Gewürztraminer?

If I buy wine, I only buy New Zealand Marlborough, like The Ned.

Before leaving Northern California for good, I would always order that wine with Neuchâtel cheese fondue. It was my "go to" wine for my perfect fondue.

A good choice!

It is a most pleasant wine!

I'm actually into the sweet Rieslings now.

Individual bunch select late harvests, I assume?

I don't know.

You should look for some if you have a good wine shop near you that has any. They come in tenths rather than fifths, and are VERY sweet. It sounds almost disgusting, but the grapes are picked when they are starting to rot with botrytis (winemakers call it "noble Rot"), which increases the sugar content.

Interesting, as some sweet wines have a slight "green" taste, as if they were picked too soon.
