Description
NEXT THURSDAY! This tasting is very special for us at the cellar because our sommeliers Liz Kowal & Tim Campbell have participated in several Austrian wine events including "Austria's Best Sommelier: Chicago 2019".
These wines are truly hidden gems that we know all of you would love to taste & learn about. Gruner Veltliner is a native Austrian white wine that will be your new Sauvignon Blanc with a fresh twist! Their signature red grape is Zweigelt, a spicy, full-bodied but elegant take on Pinot Noir. A Rosé option too! Call to purchase wine & register!
