Gessami (Catalan for Jasmine) is not tea, of course, it's wine . . . the name is derived from the Persian word yasamin, Greek iasminon, Italian gelsomino, French jensemie and finally the Catalan version, gessami . . . and no, Gessami is not served at Moon Gate, but it should be.

And it's not made from jasmine . . . although it could easily fool you. It's a blend of Muscat d'Alexandria and Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of Gewurztraminer . . . the chalky soil's minerality, fermentation on the grape skins and stainless steel aging produce a wine of pure fruit, intense aromatics and bright crispness. Made at the Gramona family winery in the Penedes of Spain, near Barcelona on the Mediterranean coast.

This is another case where the new vintage is on its way and I was able to score the last 56 cases of the '06 at a huge savings.

GRAMONA GESSAMI 2006
Dozens of aromas are found in this luscious wine . . . jasmine, pear, ginger, lavender, lychees, peaches . . . depending on who's doing the tasting. Some compare it to a spicy Alsatian . . . others to Albarino. I say it's somewhere in between. A wonderful, fresh, subtle aperitif wine . . . enjoy with a spicy Asian or a luscious Spaniard.
