Anton Bauer Gmörk Gruner-Veltlinger (Tracken, Austria, 2007)

Having just found out that we are hosting Thanksgiving, I visited our local wine store to get some recommendations. Truthfully, they have all been great and we’re having a tough time deciding!

4 stars (out of 5)

Although I am a little unsure about serving an Austrian wine at such an all-American holiday, this gruner-veltliner would pair delightfully with a variety of autumn flavors. Elizabeth said the nose on this one “smells like wine,” but others detected aromas of citrus and hard cider. It was crisp and light on our tongues, with a long floral finish and nice minerality. Overall, an excellent value ($13.99) and will probably be at our Thanksgiving meal.
