I am quite impressed, with the new interest in wine in San Diego. We went to a wine bar called The Wine Lover . It was a lovely place, and I will definitely go back.
My choice was an Alsace Gewurztraminer. Try saying that 3x…

This wine was gorgeous. It had a bouquet of roses and magnolia in bloom, but from a distance. Not overpowering, like magnolia can be on a hot and humid day, but a hint. The wine was sharing a secret, or seducing me with this intoxicating perfume. On the palate it was slightly oily in texture, dry but fruity, with a long after taste. It tasted of dried mangoes, hint of vanilla, and rose water. This wine reminded me of Pablo Neruda love poems to his wife. Romantic, well balanced, in harmony with a woman's taste, but not sickly sweet or overly romantic. I enjoyed it immensely.

Please go to Alsace one day. Aside form the fact that it's stunning, the wine route will have you salivating form start to finish. Can't say the food department caters too much for vegans though... unless you LOVE potatoes...
Actually I do love potatoes!!
