Rosemont Diamond Traminer Riesling

[Innkeeper]

Here is what Anthony Hawkins says about Traminer: "TRAMINER: Still grown in France, where it is better known as Savagnin Blanc, and in California but almost everywhere else has been largely replaced by its much more intense and aromatic offspring Gewürztraminer clonal variety. The subject name is still used in Australia as an alias name for Gewürztraminer and, confusingly, is also known there under the synonym name Savagnin Rose."

When we lived in Nancy, France in the early '60s, close by to Alsace; we could go to the shop across the street and find bottles of Traminer and Gewurztaminer side by side at about the same price. They were very different wines.
