'Tis the season for chilled white wines!
I recently had an opportunity to serve two distinctly different white wines to some friends and family. The wines were the 2010 Chateau La Tour Beraud and the 2009 Felsner Gruner Veltliner.
The Beraud is a beautifully floral wine with a myriad of fruit flavors including peach and green apple. There is a lush body to this wine which would lend it as a great alternative for chardonnay drinkers.
The Felsner is bone dry wine showing a rich "minerally" character. The fruit takes a backseat to the rich terroir shown in this Austrian white.
Both wines would pair nicely with light summer cuisine.
-2010 Chateau La Tour Beraud Blanc, Region-Rhone, Grapes - 50% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne, 25% Marsanne. $9.99
-2009 Felsner Gruner Veltliner, Region-Austria, Grape - Gruner Veltliner. $12.99
