Juris St. Laurent "Selection" Burgenland 2009 Austria
Some say the St Laurent grape is a relative of Pinot Noir and there are some similarities. The round, black cherry flavors are there, but St Laurent is a little deeper and smokier. In addition to the cherry you will get some boysenberry as well. Oak is here, but subtly, and its presence will recede in a year or so. Juris is certainly one of the best producers of Austrian red wine, and this vintage of St Laurent really shows off his talents. Have this with duck, pork or goose.

The 2010 Sprinzenberg Riesling is a perfect example of Austrian Riesling at its best. Completly dry with cristaline purity. These are not flowery or fruity but show another side of this noble grape.

Summerer Riesling Urgestein Kamptal 2008 Austria
Austrian Riesling is a "gateway" wine. It can make people who think they don't like Riesling, like Riesling. The Austrian terroir interprets the grape so differently that its character is not tropical or fruity, but more glacial, icy, pristine and mineral. Sometimes it's hard to imagine that this is Riesling at all. If a Riesling hater tries this and likes it, who knows, World Peace may be on the way.

Perfect dry German wine from a great producer. The wines of the Franken region are almost always dry. Silvaner is king here and this is textbook, dry Silvaner. Aromas of fruit blossoms with a clean, dry,crisp, but not tart, finish. Did I mention this is dry?

That way we will know that you want the spicy, medium-bodied red that will leave you wondering why it has taken you so long to build up the courage to ask.
