    Monday, August 02, 2010 - Very good. Light straw yellow color. Cirtus nose of grapefruit and stone. Medium bodied palate of predominantly citrus flavors with a nice mineral backbone. Slightly spritzy. Medium length finish. In the past I’ve enjoyed this with spicy food, but tonight it was great simply on its own. Exceptional value. Highly recommended – a great summertime bargain!

    Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - Very nice. Little acidic at first but rounds out enough to show its minerality. Nice quaffer.

    Tuesday, April 20, 2010 - Excellent wine for $7 will be getting more of this for summer drinking. Love the fact that what we don't get to can wait till next summer in the cellar. Very drinkable Gruner with a nice long finish.

    Friday, April 16, 2010 - Easy drinking and very approachable. Fruit, acid and minerality all in the right proportions. Nice wine for this summer.

    (WINZER KREMS Gruner Sandgrube 13) $7.99

    Dear Friends,

    We've had a bunch of expensive wines lately so how about this?

    $7.99 for a nervous bottle of Gruner Veltliner that is normally $20 or more. I believe this wine received 89 pts from the Wine Spectator (I don't have my laptop this morning) and the "89" is the reason for this bizarre deal. One more point and it's $20 but now it's $7.99?

    Don't get me started on the relative absurdity of the above equation but it's a buyers market right now and you are the beneficiary. As an everyday wine of terroir (or for a holiday gathering of 100 wine know-it-alls) you could probably do a lot worse. Intellectual wedding reception wine?

    This parcel is from a perfectly stored cache of Winzer Krems and while I know very little about this wine (I've never seen or tasted a bottle), I'm sure your $7.99 will be well-served with its acquisition.

    2007 Winzer Krems Sandgrube 13 Gruner Veltliner

    Thank you,
