*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from F. Wildman. Lots of wines that are fun to say in recent days around here. GROOOOOOOOOONNNNER. And lots of Gruner! Told you I was revisiting my liaison with Gruner this spring. I think I’m out now though. I’ll need to go peruse the local shops and [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Folio Winemakers We all know I had a love affair last spring with Gruner Veltliner. I’m gearing up to repeat that liaison this spring. I just find Gruner to be so light and sprightly and perfect for the spring. I love it. I especially love the [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Folio Winemakers. I reviewed this same wine a year and a half ago. I somehow ended up with a second sample of the same vintage, but I’m not complaining. It’s a great wine and I’m happy to taste it again. The wine in question? The 2006 [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Wines of Austria I’m having a sort of affair with Gruner Veltliner this year. I find it charming, generally interesting, and different from any other white I’ve encountered. Plus, it works with so many different kinds of foods that it’s really versatile. [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the PR folks for Wines of Austria. I unabashedly love Gruner Veltliner. It’s fun, easy to drink, generally easy on my wallet, and tastes pretty darn good to me. I also think it’s perfect with Thanksgiving dinner (oh my, yes, I’m already thinking ahead for Thanksgiving [...]

Like I said earlier this week, I was inspired by the GruV Olympics to go out and fetch some Gruner of my own. My only problem is that I normally only find one or two bottles in any given wine shop and often one of those bottles is a 1.5L bottle that I don’t want [...]

After participating in the GruV Olympics (which I still need to write about…now where are those notes…) I got on a bit of a Gruner Veltliner kick. The weather turned nice and Matt and I were spending time outside playing Battleship (he lost, both games) and a light crisp wine seemed just the ticket. Luckily, [...]

As I march along in my goal of drinking more bubbly in 2010 (I’m kicking ass at this goal by the way!) I thought I’d bring you something totally different. Matt and I wandered over to the Curious Grape in Shirlington a few weeks ago for a tasting (sadly, we had trouble finding parking due [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Folio Winemakers. I decided I would really love some Gruner Veltliner for Thanksgiving. And I wish it could be either of the Laurenz V. Gruners that I’ve tried in the last few weeks. Alas, I am visiting my folks for the holidays and the wine shop [...]

*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Folio WineMakers. I love coming home and finding wine on my doorstep. I previously wrote about visiting Folio WineMakers with Thea on the last vacation Matt and I took to CA. We enjoyed the wines and purchased a few bottles between us. I was pleasantly surprised [...]
