What is this?

When I was in the liquor store the other day, I saw a bottle of Gewurztraminer wine, and wondered what that was. I didn’t have time to ask any of the people working in the store as I was in a hurry to purchase wine for my dinner party that night. What type of wine is this, is there anything I might have heard of that you could compare it to? The wine I saw was made in Germany, and I haven’t really had any German wines before that I can recall. Is Gewurztraminer wine from Germany (or elsewhere) any good?
