Wineries in the southwest

In the Southwest of what country?

If you're talking about the American Southwest, my favorite winery would be Gruet in Albuquerque, hands down. Their "winery" is a tasting room set in an industrial park, but their wines more than make up for the lack of ambience.

If you're talking about the French Southwest, my favourite wineries would be the Jurançon wines of Uroulat (Charles Hours) and Domaine de Souch (Yvonne Hegoburu).

Next: Germany? Austria? Hungary? Slovenia?

You should see the Dr. Heger winery in Kaiserstuhl. The volcanic soil of that area and the warmer climate of Baden in southwestern Germany is pretty favourable for Pinot Gris which the locals call Grauburgunder. Anders

And if you are talking about the Canadian southwest, you might try Quail's Gate, Laughing Stock, Black Hills, Burrowing Owl and Osoyoos in the Okanagan valley.

Don't get politics in here. There's no wine in Austria's Southwest

-- unless you take Südtirol/Alto Adige as Austria's Southwest ;-)

I would say that the SW of Austria is Lago di Garda, you hardly hear anyone speak italian there... :-)

As a matter of fact, given what's going on in my home country, the Veneto would be better off annexed to Austria. :-)

Oops, we were not supposed to get politics in there.

Then, in the SW of Sweden, there is the Nangijala winery - high prices, questionable quality - a definite winner

In Vienna's Southwest, the two top producers are Michael Edlmoser and Richard Zahel, both members of "WienWein" (= "ViennaWine"), a quartet of top growers. Fritz Wieninger and Rainer Christ, both located in the Northwest of the city on the left bank of the Danube, are the other two.

In the SW of Slovenia, the Slovenska Istra, I would recommend Santomas for his refošk.

I like "his" for "Santomas", the name of the Koper cooperative ... ;-)

M.

"sunk".

OK, I meant "her" :-)

In this case, the use of plural pronouns to avoid gender discrimination would prove more useful than usual. The London Times does that as a matter of course (and so do I, if that's of any importance :-)

oops, I suppose the country might help here. Southwest in the US. Thoughts - love all the suggestions!

Nice to see that you accepted the fun! I'm sure you'll get a proper answer by someone in the know.
