Generally, these wines would be good in the same years that rieslings excel.
Germany, Alsace-Lorraine, and the U.S. make most of these. The German and the U.S. tend to be sweeter, whereas the Alsacian versions tend to be drier and more austere. I find the Alsacian is more of an aquired taste for most.
The good ones have very exotic spicy tastes. DeLoach of California makes a good entry to the floral, sweeter version. Hugel or Trimbach of Alsace would show you the other side of the coin.

i've never had or heard of an American gewurz.
i've had lots of excellent gewurzes from the Alsace, Germany and New Zealand, though.

Oh Christ- Im sorry! Why am I always slapped in the face by taking for granted the depth and breadth of an experts knowlege? I should shut my damn mouth. Thank you.

  WOW!!!
  I've never considered myself an "expert". And to think my "knowledge" has "depth and breadth".
  You're too kind...
