2008 Setzer Gruner Veltliner, Howenworth, Wienviertel, Austria ($8 for a l liter from Pacific Grove Wine Market)
We had this by itself. However, Gruner screams for food and so, we paired it with kalamata olives. It worked magnificently magical. It brought the wine from a C- to a C+. The acidity was lacking, it had a slight prickle, and showed green celerey characteristics. There wasn't much fruit and it seemed a touch oxidized. So slightly drinkable.
