This week’s feature is the refreshing Ecker Gruner Veltliner 1L – $12.99. What’s from Austria and more fun outside than a well-worn pair of Lederhosen? How about the delicious Ecker Gruner Veltliner! The importer, Theirry Theise, describes this wine as tasting “like spring water strained through herbs”. This is a lighter bodied Gruner Veltliner, with aromas of stone fruit, apricots, and wild botanicals. With a crisp acidity on the palate and a refreshing mineral-like finish, this is juice is perfect for the crushing humidity, and a broad range of summer meals.
