TN: GruVe and Graves, on Mother's Day

I think my wallet deprives me of his wines- I can find Nigl's Privat (Riesling or GV) for $30 or less, don't remember seeing any wine from FX Pichler for less than $45. While I'll occasionally will spend $50 or even $100 on a red I like, for some reason $35-40 seems to be my ceiling for dry whites (a couple of Niellon 1ers is one of the few exceptions I can think of). So like Clos St. Hune or Beaucastel Rousanne VV, FX Pichler wines I mostly taste by hanging around those who do collect them (in a somewhat leechlike manner). Dale

Thank you, you're most welcome, of course.

Wednesday & Thursday will see me in heavy tasting labour, working ourselves through 434 GVs and Rieslings 2003 with an upper alcohol limit of 12.5%. (We will do those above 12.5% in autumn.)

I can just repeat my invitation: If any regular from this group passes Vienna, I'll be glad to formally share a glass or two. (Informally that would mean a bottle ot two or three.)
