Wine Glossary Terms: G

Gamay: The grape of the Beaujolais region of France. It produces a light styled red wine. While this grape variety is found on the labels of some California wines, it is probable that the grape is not actually Gamay, but a light Pinot Noir clone or even the easily forgotten Valdiguie of southern France.
Gewurztraminer: Also called Traminer. A perfumed, pungent, spicy white grape that produces semisweet to dry wines; a specialty of Alsace (France) but also grown in California, Germany, Eastern Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
