2009 Nikolaihof Gruner Veltliner "Hefeabzug" Wachau, Austria 11.5% alcohol $30
When we went to the Cheese Shop in Carmel, CA we got some help from Kent, the owner. He started talking about red wines from the Jura, France and how he was totally in love with Poulsard, an obscure red varietal just east of Burgundy. However, we asked about Nikolaihof and he just about had an orgasm, as he exclaimed, "Oh-My-God!". We were sold. When we got it back to my apartment, we watched "A Good Year" and were somewhat captivated by the movie, but our attention should've went towards the wine. It didn't. If it was life-altering, we would've wrote tasting notes three weeks ago--sorry we don't have generic flavor profiles for this one, but we did drink the whole bottle. Oh yeah, and the sex we had was like..."Oh-My-God!!!"
