2009 Weingut Brundlmayer Kamptaler Terrassen Riesling

Published on August 15, 2011 By FoodandWineChickie

I paired this Austrian wine with lobster this past weekend and loved how the clean, mineral flavor cut right through the rich crustacean. The nose on this Riesling is lemony and with floral and nectarine notes.  In the mouth, it’s fresh and crisp with a zippy, dry and mineral finish. I loved the 2009 Weingut [...]

2008 Pfaffl Austrian Cherry Zweigelt

Published on February 6, 2011 By FoodandWineChickie

Based on the label and my knowledge of Zweigelt, I was expecting cherry upon sipping this wine, but I also found bright, fresh red berries with spicy undertones along with the ripe cherries.  This inky wine is medium-bodied and at that affordable price point, could easily become one of my mid-week or BBQ, go-to wines.  [...]

Really enjoyed this bubbly from Burgenland, Austria at a recent tasting. The wine is cremant-like with tons of tiny bubbles and a floral nose with great acidity. Golden in color, this wine is a great option when looking for an affordable sparkling wine. Around $27.

2008 Hirsch Gruner Veltliner Heiligenstein

Published on January 26, 2010 By FoodandWineChickie

Sampled this wine as part of a tasting menu at Bouley last weekend.  For those of you who enjoy fresh and crisp Gruner Veltliner, this is a good rendition.  This Weingut Hirsch wine has a citrus, apple, herbal aroma that had me sniffing for several minutes before taking a first sip.  This wine offers a [...]
