Gewürztraminer has unquestionably been the most maligned and misunderstood white grape among wine consumers over the last decade. Even among wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs, it has been and arguably still is out of favor. And yet, in my 30 years of wine drinking, the single most impressionable and unparalleled wine in my memory in terms of extraordinary complexity and compelling quality, basically the best white wine I have ever had to this very day is the 1976 Trimbach Cuvée des Seigneurs de Ribeaupierre.
