German/Austrian Wines

With Matt Nelling from Skurnik

Wednesday, June 4, 5-7 pm drop in
$5 tasting fee, waived with featured bottle purchase

Years ago we had to convince people not to be afraid of "pink" wines. Now, these wines are embraced for their Spring and Summer style, but so should the wines of German and Austria. We are big fans of these wines as the countries have centuries of tradition producing elegant whites and now delicious reds too. They are perfect for North Carolina climes, pairing well with mild winters and steamy summers.

Matt Nelling will be in the shop pouring the following:

Brundlmayer, L&T | Gruner Veltliner | Kamptal, Austria
juicy, vibrant, rivals white burgundy $23

Kruger Rumpf, Rosé | Pinot Noir | Nahe, Germany
delicate, cherry flowers, crisp, dry $20

Merkelbach, Fischerei | Riesling | Mosel, Germany
balanced, rapturous fruit, exotic, mineral $32

Reinisch, St. Laurent | St. Laurent | Thermenregion, Austria
dark-fruited, smooth tannins, full-bodied $25

Feature Wines
in case you missed these last week, we loved them so much we're featuring them again

Bagnol, Cassis Rosé 2024
Cassis, France
Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvedre

Bright crushed red berries and fresh provençal herbs make this an engaging bottle, a classic provence rosé on a more serious note, elegant, richly textured rose, perfect for those who can't wait for tempier's bandol rose to return (and cheaper too!)
This year's bottling is especially well structured. $34

Cameron, Supernatural
Willamette Valley, Oregon
skin-contact pinot gris

this bottle is so tasty it is almost gone from the store shelves, understandable when one of Oregon's top producers crafts a wine as an ode to a European "ikon" - stanislao radikon,
made from late-harvest pinot gris, fermented in amphora for one month, then aged in neutral barrels for 2 years, this is an orange wine anyone can embrace and enjoy -- delicious with some fresh grilled or roasted spring vegetables. $37
