A Christmas in Austria Wine Festival!

So a pair of Austrian wine pros walk into a McLean wine shop the Sunday before Christmas. Will they be wearing green and red lederhosen? Alpine Santa hats with a feather on the side?  Probably not! But Importer Klaus Wittauer and fellow Austrian-native Christina Caswell will be pouring some delicious Austrian sparkling, white, red and even sweet wines. 

You – and we! – have a long-time love affair going with the Austrian wines and producers Klaus has discovered over the years and brought to us here in the USA. This special pre-Christmas tasting will feature 12 wines from six family estates that showcase Austria’s delicious diversity.  Come by from 1-4 on Sunday and try:
