| Austria
Austrian wines are crying out to be discovered by every self-respecting foodie. They combine the charm and elegance of the Italian style and the purity and precision of Alsace and Bordeaux. Austria makes some of the most lip-smackingly fresh, dry rieslings...perfect with seared scallops or sashimi. Its exclusive local hero, the Gruener Veltliner grape,...referred to by the wine press as "Gruvies"...make some spicy, rich and characterful dry whites that are great with things like veal, poultry or tuna. Austrian reds, particularly those from the unique "Blaufraenkisch" grape, have that wonderful food friendly combination of bitter-sweet, chianti style fruit and the depth and structure of a Bordeaux
Most Popular Austrian White: Ott Amberg Gruner Veltliner
