Date: Sunday, November 6, 2011"A potpourri of citrus aromas fills the nose of this 2010 Grner Veltliner. Orchard fruits in the form of apple characteristics are present as well. Lemon ice and papaya flavors lead an avalanche of citrus and tropical fruit flavors throughout the juicy, bright, concentrated palate. This wine just explodes in your mouth and offers loads of tasty appealing flavors. The citrus elements take charge through the finish and theyre joined by hints of white pepper and some tart green apple. This wine is marked by racy acidity that adds to its refreshing quality. Grooner is delicious all by itself but will also pair well with things like soft cheeses and light appetizers.
Over the last three vintages Grooner has really achieved its mission. It provides an accessible example of Grner Veltliner that will easily appeal to those new to the varietal as well as providing sufficient complexity for those already familiar with it. Anyone who likes crisp, refreshing whites should give Grooner a shot." -

Straight-forward GV with clean, dry, yet mouth-watering appeal. Has good weight to it and retails for $13 a bottle. A good, affordable intro to the varietal if you've never tried it before."
