Organic/Bio Lower ABV Heinrich Hartl III is best known for his very serious, structured, Pinot Noirs from top sites on the wooded ridge stretching southward from Vienna’s suburbs. This is his daily-drinking Pinot, done with... Read More

Lower ABV Not very closely related to Grüner Veltiner at all, Roter Veltliner is found scattered across Austria where it’s tightly packed bunches and tendency to set heavy crops makes it a tricky grape for fine wine.... Read More

Organic/Bio What if you pick your Grüner Veltliner, let the juice and skins ferment together for a couple of weeks, press it into old barrels, let it do whatever it wants to do for a few months until you bottle it without... Read More

From Kremstal, just across the Danube from Wachau, and the mother-daughter team of Helmu Muller-Grossman and Marlies Hanke. This is Grüner from very deep and heavy loess soils, with more richness and texture than you’d... Read More

Organic/Bio Stretching east of Vienna to the border with Slovakia, Carnuntum was an important Roman frontier post and today is one of Austria’s top red wine regions. Christina Netzl captures the place and character of Austria’s... Read More

Lower ABV Mathias Ruttenstock burst onto the Austrian wine scene a decade ago on the strength of his award-winning Grüner Veltliners, which remain the winery’s focus. But he also works magic with this plot of 45+ year-old... Read More

Lower ABV Just like the last vintage, wow - is this ever delicious! Done mainly in tank with a little bit in barrel, shows fantastic energy and intensity. Aromas and flavors feature crisp green apple and yellow pear fruit with... Read More

Organic/Bio The Steininger family makes a dizzying array of sparkling wine from their Kamptal vineyards, and the pink fizz from, of all things, Cabernet Sauvignon is one of our favorites. The Wine Enthusiast 92 point review from... Read More

Organic/Bio Intense. That’s the very first word that comes to mind when tasting this bone dry, multi-layered, Austrian Riesling. Like the best dry Rieslings from Australia’s Clare and Eden Valleys and Germany’s... Read More

On Thursday, August 14 at 7pm, join us for an exploration of Brunello di Montalcino's suprisingly impressive 2020 vintage. The class will take place in the downstairs classroom at the shop. All reservations will be charged... Read More

Organic/Bio A super steely and crisp take on Verdejo, with the orange citrus reading pithy and fresh and a touch of stone fruit for extra complexity. It’s from 20-30 year-old vines around the village of Le Seca with a few... Read More

A wildly complex, not too sweet, and deserving of being sipped solo – or with a splash of soda – on the rocks Vermut from Tera Alta in Catalonia. It’s Macabeau base wine, darkened with dried green walnuts and... Read More

Lower ABV There is NOTHING sexy about the winery, terroir, winemaking or family behind this 70/30 blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion from the flat vineyards of southern Bordeaux. Fortunately, what’s in your glass plus... Read More

Lower ABV From one of Soave’s benchmark estate, this is Garganega for folks who love Chablis, Muscadet, Fiano and the like. Vinous describes it well in the 91 point review, impresses with its fresh mix of vividly ripe orchard... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Old-school, genuine, Vinho Verde from organically farmed, pergola-trained, Loureiro and Trajadura done in steel and bottled gently to preserve just a tiny touch of spritz. It’s full of ginger and spice... Read More
