wrong choice?

[curious]

Hi all, hope your Chrismas was a good one.

My hubby and I tried the Gewurztraminer (2001, Fetzer) today, with lemon pepper baked chicken, corn, potatoes and oriental rice. My hubby puckered up, said it tasted like beer and did not like it.

It was 11.5% alcohol, could that have been the problem? Or was it the wrong wine for that food? I let my glass sit for a bit, and it had less of an alcohol aftertaste, but was still a bit strong on tarty side, any input, guys?
