This H&M Hoffer Gruner Veltliner hit the mark yesterday as I moved through tastings of a Sancerre, Sav Blanc and Alsatian Pinot Blanc. The Gruner Veltliner took the prize! Beautiful, bright acidity with a smooth finish. Day bright, clear color and medium plus viscosity. Underripe fruit, lemon grass, dry and so refreshing! In my quest for dry, white wines of the world, this one has moved high up on my list!

Pear, melon, and some peach, with lemony acidity, a little salt and a hint of yeast. Fresh, light, simple, and satisfying as an aperitif.

Cucumber, asparagus and other green veggies on the nose. Crisp, great acid, some saltiness on the finish, this might be the best value around at $14 for a liter. Absolute guzzler.
