Okay. So this is a blatant attempt to appeal to your ego. Everyone, new wine lover to wine maker. Write down, if you will, one or two of your favorite wines that you have had in the past few weeks, or days. If you are a wine buyer, wine maker or sommelier write a few notes about the wine in your hand and why you love it. If you don’t love it … get another wine, what the hell’s the matter with you?
So, case in point, at Eastern Standard Restaurant in Boston they had a gorgeous Austrian Gruener Veltliner by the glass.
It was a 2008 Gobelsburger with citrus, apricot notes and bright acidity. Pretty sexy bottle, too. 1 litre format with a screw cap (aka stelvin closure). Went damn well with their delicious PEI mussels in a white wine fennel broth.
So? Let it rip, start typing those wines in here and let others check out the wines you love. Great wine really should be shared. Right?

James,
Kathryn Kennedy “Lateral” is one of my favorites, always great with a nice meal. Also, really enjoy their Estate Cabernet!

Pieroth’s Hungary Ice Cabernet Sauvignon is by far my favorite. Unfortunately unless PRP Wine has an event you have to purchase a minimum of 12 cases of wine total (you can mix and match though.) This one has a nice sweet flavor with a smooth taste. There are no added sulfites which mean no headaches if you over drink. While I know Ice wines are to be consumed in smaller quantities I could easily drink an entire bottle of this stuff in one nice relaxing sitting. My favorite white wine would have to be Avo’s Moscato d’Asti. I found this gem at Aldi’s for $6.99 and it’s become my daily wine. It’s very sweet and light. It is slightly carbonated and from personal experience do not leave it in a hot car even for a short period of time.
