In colder months, reds often get promoted heavily, but Lucien Albrecht Reserve Gewurztraminer 2010 with floral notes, honey and tropical fruit, makes a welcome addition to wine lists as well as by the glass offerings.

The winery was founded in1425 and includes some of the region’s most prestigious terroirs. Complex, it can stand by itself, rich and dry, but also works beautifully with foods, and particularly, poultry dishes with cream sauces. Made from 100 percent Gewurztraminer, it is 13 percent alcohol. Visit www.pasternakwine.com.
