With Christmas coming up, it's time to think about Holiday Wines.  Not
snob wines, nor sweet wines, but wines that both the wine connoisseur
and the rare wine drinker can enjoy (please, no Mogen David
recommendations).

Since white wines are the most popular, and go with holiday fowl
generally well, we should probably restrict ourselves to these.

Gewurtztraminer seems to be a wine that fits into this category:  it
usually has a complex, spicy character, yet is not dry, so appeals to
the irregular wine drinker.  I had an uncommon gewurz ('81, produced in
the Alsace region of France, and distributed by the Academy du Vin)
that was nearly dry, yet held the gewurz's spicy character.  I'm
looking for others of this variety, as well as other wines appropriate
for the holidays.
