Our take
What we make of this bottle
Is a white wine this inexpensive worth a place at the table? Fetzer's Gewürztraminer answers with its grape: an aromatic white with pink to light-red skins, a selection of the older Traminer that can be made either dry or sweet. It comes from California, and in our checks across September 2026 it ranged from $9.99 to $13.99, among the least expensive whites we track.
The average is 5 out of five, from 6 ratings. For the style itself, the Alsace wine authority points to lychee and other tropical fruit, rose, citrus and a note of spice, with fuller body and a softer freshness than many of that region's whites.
For you at the shelf, one habit helps: Gewürztraminer is made both dry and sweet, so the sweetness level is worth a look at the label, which the Alsace authority says is where it gets spelled out. Fetzer, the maker, says it is a Certified B Corporation working out of Hopland, in Mendocino County.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
Getting to know California.
California on the label is useful provenance but weak detail about place. For these wines, sourcing disclosure, blend construction and house-style consistency carry more decision value than a generic climate paragraph.
What the name means
A state-level appellation, broader than an individual American Viticultural Area. It permits a multi-region blend and does not by itself identify one climate or soil.
How grapes grow here
The state spans cool maritime zones and hot inland valleys. A California designation alone does not reveal which conditions shaped the fruit.
What lies under the vines
At state scale, sourcing and house-style construction matter more than any single soil story.
How large the region is
- Reusable question
- Which counties or AVAs supplied the blend, and did that mix change by release?
Places within the region
- Resolution limit
- County, AVA and vineyard claims begin only when the release names them.
Getting to know Gewürztraminer.
Gewürztraminer is an aromatic white grape with pink to light-red skins. It is a selection of the older Traminer grape and can make dry or sweet wine.

What to expect in the glass
The Alsace wine authority describes lychee and other tropical fruit, rose, citrus and spice across the category. It also describes full body and softer freshness than many other Alsace white wines, while the label should establish sweetness.
