Paul D. Grüner Veltliner 2008
* 1/2Austria, $10 (Great Value)
Winemaker Paul Direder is only 19 years old, but this debut wine hints at a great future for him. It is dry yet impressively ripe, with vibrant lime zest flavors and an appealing richness in the mouth feel, and it should be a perfect wine for late summer patio dining. It is new to this market, but look for it everywhere soon. There is also a Zweigelt red wine in liter format (*).

Versatility in a Dry Rosé
New York Times - The City
Wine Under $20 - From Austria, a Dry Rosé That’s Versatile
By HOWARD G. GOLDBERG
Published: July 6, 2008
Austrians love the salmon-pink dry rosé from Tegernseerhof, a superior estate in Wachau, a scenic white-wine region northwest of Vienna.
The screw-capped 2007, made from native zweigelt grapes, offers a rose-petal aroma, a red-currant flavor and a citric finish that quenches after-tennis thirst. It’s interesting cold or nearly warm.
Martin Brothers, 2781 Broadway (107th Street), charges $13.99.
