Oh, ha, it was because I couldn't remember how to spell it! Nor exactly where the umlaut(s) were! And was lazy to walk over and look for my notes! I haven't yet had any really good ($$) ones, I think I've had a Nigl, and one that began with a W...(lazy again) Don't yell at me guys, but GV is what I always thought Riesling should taste like...(cowering in the corner, protecting head!)

There aren't many available in my area, but then, I haven't had a bad one yet. I usually grab one when I see a new one.

So far I've liked the following producers: Josef Jamek Johann Topf Domaine Wachau Loimer Langenlois (Avoid the rather generic Lois) Wieninger

I think there is so little brought in the country and each store sells so little that the ones found are usually pretty good. No one seems to want to take up space on bad GVs. At least that's the case around here.

Try one or two, you'll be hooked. The Austrian GVs are right behind the German Rieslings for me as my favorite white.

You can see another response from me in this thread that lists a few producers that are available around me in Wisconsin that are mainly under US$30.

I have not had a bad GV yet either. A few sommeliers in town are promoting this obscure gem of a wine...at long last.

none of these are available in Charlotte Wine Stores I contacted.

Oh well.

Do you ever order from Carolina Wine Company? They usually have some good Austrians. Dale

Dale Williams Drop "damnspam" to reply

never have before. but I take son back to chapel hill in early January perhaps I shall stop by.

I will check for web site. thanks.

I called them and you were correct. They have plenty of this wine there. When returning son to college next week I will check out.

Hope all is well there and thank you for suggestion.

They also claim to have decent burgs...thanks.
