Sunday Wine Notes

My recent trip to Austria introduced me to a new variety of wine, Gruner Veltliner. It appears to be sort of the flagship wine of Austria, and shows a nice range of flavors and styles. It is a white, fairly dry wine, that goes well with a number of meals. It is dry enough that it can be used to cut through heavy flavors or even sweet in the mouth, yet is not so dry that it goes towards pucker factor. The flavors can range from floral to citrus to fruit and you will even find touches of sweet notes. Even the low-ends are well worth a try.
