CAM’s great price on a good gewürz
Cameron Hughes Wine Inc. (CAM) is a “wine négociant.” In other words, it specializes in re-blending and selling fine wines under its own label at considerably less cost. It’s an absolute steal to buy a case (free shipping included). CAM offers really good prices on a variety of mostly excellent wines.
The CAM Lot 28 2023 Gewürztraminer, for example, runs at $99 for a case, which would normally cost about $330.
This Anderson Valley gewürztraminer is a “crystalline, palate-tingling beauty” that delivers a refreshing and harmonious experience of pure fruit and an abundance of acidity. The winemaker suggests this very dry wine is perfect to pair with spicy food or for the Thanksgiving table.
I really like this well-made gewürz and think it’s worth the price of a case.
CAM also produces chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, petite sirah, malbec and others. Check their website for current releases: camxwine.com.
