This week’s Forgotten Grape is...

Gewurztraminer

They are both cold. They are both calculating. They are both ruthlessly efficient. They are also both Germany’s finest, the very essence of what it means to be German in both the bottle and on the fußball pitch. There is a sense of nationalistic pride that comes with each, as they are by far two of the finest exports the country has to offer, and each can hold its own against comparable competition

not only across Europe, but around the world. Both are exceptionally popular and considered the top of their class within Germany, and both have been dominant champions for decades on end. A veritable dynasty, one might say. They are crisp. They have bite. They are workmanlike and do their jobs very, very well. One is Germany’s most dominant fußball club, and the other is its most popular white grape varietal. Together, they form this week’s Forgotten Grape, Gewurztraminer. Umlaut optional. more >>
