Grüner Veltliner

Robin picked an Austrian wine Grüner Veltliner from Winzer Kremser Sandgrube. It's a white wine with 12.5% Alcohol. The grapes are Niederösterrich.  This wine costs around $15.99. 


Appearance: tiny bubbles, quick legs, and a 3 on the pee scale. Yes you read that right!  We got tired of trying to decide what shade of Amber the white wine was so we decided to use the hydration urine chart to describe the color of the wine. 


Nose: citrus, lemon, alcohol/acid, grapefruit, and gardenia 

Taste: fuzzy tounge, spices finish, lemon, mineral. Several members of the group think it has a taste and feel that resembles Alka Seltzer. 

Some claim that food improves the taste of the wine. Especially if it's a creamy cheese.

Melissa and Sam got a different wine because they couldn't fine any Austrian wine. They got a New Zeland wine called Oyster Bay. Which they rated a 3. The rest of us were very jealous of their good wine choice.
