Wine Is Serious Business 58: Grüner Veltliner from Austria – part 1

April 12th, 2012 | admin

We received samples of some Austrian wines, and we were pretty excited to share them with you. Additionally, our friend David Speer from Red Slate Wine Company agreed to do the show with us. He had some good information that we wouldn’t have had, and it was fun to share the wines with him too. Thanks to Constance Chamberlain for hooking us up with such great examples of Austrian wine. I looked up some prices online, and ended up thoroughly impressed. We taste the 2009 Zahel Grüner Veltliner Goldberg ~$20, the 2009 Laurenz und Sophie Singing Grüner Veltliner ~$14, the 2009 Domane Wachau Terrassen Federspiel Grüner Veltliner $16, and the 2009 Fritsch Wagram Schlossberg Grüner Veltliner ~$22. The question of the day is in the video, but learning how to spell the word is part of the question, so you’ll have to watch it to answer! Link to Part 2: www.youtube.com
