On the Road with the Grape Guy
Report from - Austrian Wine Summit ... April 21, 2011

I've tasted quite a bit of Austrian wine, but never in a lunch setting (there are a number of reasons for that - which I will not get into here - but the availability (or lack thereof) of Austrian wines is probably number one on my reason-hit parade). But lunch pairing seems to be exactly what the Austrian's wanted to prove: their wines are a perfect match to some of your favourite dishes. Sure they can talk about "food friendly", "great acidity", "lovely wines for all seasons" - but when you get the food on the table and the glass is sitting there waiting to see if the pairing works, that's when the truth comes out.
The day started with a 9-wine seminar about a variety of Austrian wines: (find out the best wines of the seminar and the rest of the day by clicking here)
