The Wine... Lively, crisp, and quite dry
with enough weight in the texture to give the wine an extra dimension of
appeal. There is a notable creaminess on the finish.
The Grape... Gruner Veltliner (GROO-ner Felt-LEE-ner) is a native grape variety to Austria. Pinot Grigio may be the choice of the masses, but amongst the cognoscenti Gruner Veltliner is the order. Clean and refreshing tasting, Gruner Vetliners are really great with summer foods. Terry Theise, a wine importer, from Washington D.C. who’s been a tireless advocate of these wines says Gruners are perfect with vegetables with “the flintiness of a Sauvignon Blanc and the floral notes of a Viognier, making it the most flexible dry white wine with food.”
Friday, 1/20/12, 5-8pm, $6.50/plate or $35/all six
