Last time, we talked about trying new white wines. The Chilean white was a start, and this week we opened something brand new to us: Berger 2006 Gruner Veltliner, an Austrian white. Very nice! Smooth, very dry, excellent with grilled pork chops and chicken. And it should go well with tonight's fried rice. Versatile.
This was our September white wine of the month--proving again why we love being members of a wine club. We probably would never picked this up on our own, but now that we've tried it, we'll look for it again.
Oh, and we recently tried the Gewurztraminer from Washington State...another great, new wine for us--unexpectedly peppery and crisp.
Looking over some recent purchases, we can't wait to open a bottle of Syrah Rose from France (and see how it compares to our favorite from Paso Robles) and a Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc to see how it compares with ones from Chile and New Zealand.
