I started out my winery years ago aiming for premium Riesling production but wound up developing a Gewurztraminer following before I fell off the cliff--alone.

I know it is only Vinofiction, but I am very excited for Nick. Fermentation is fun; yeast selection is stimulating, monitoring the must daily is entertaining, even the 'kick in the chest' feeling of your first nose-full of CO2 is thrilling...purely for educational purposes of course. However, what isn't fun is harvesting Gewurtztraminer. It has to be the most objectional variety to pick, it has no peduncles, the fruit seemingly emanates directly out of the cane. Helped pick some Gewurtztraminer many years ago - haven't drank it as a finished wine since. I'm still traumatised! This is all very exciting.
