OPEN STOCK! Save $40.00 while supplies last! (price shown reflects savings) Austrian Gruner Veltliner Winexpert Limited Edition Wine Making Kit - March. $124.95 plus shipping. The Region: Gruner Veltliner is almost unique to the Niederosterreich, Austria’s growing region along the Danube River, north of Vienna. It finds its finest balance in loess, the fine-grained, densely compacted glacial dust that has blown into the vineyards over many thousands of years. This unique terroir gives the wines a nearly monolithic structure that is mysteriously nimble; forceful without being overbearing; big without being heavy. The Wine: Gruner Veltliner produces stunningly intense and concentrated wines that start with citrus and grapefruit aromas, hinting from the very beginning at the variety’s most distinguishing characteristic, the spicy fragrance of freshly ground white pepper. Astonishingly complex and full of exotic tropical fruits, in addition to white pepper they can also show herbed aromas of fresh green beans or asparagus -- surprisingly delicate, it comes from the mineral soil. The Food: The steely dryness and bracing acidity of Gruner Veltliner works brilliantly with mussels, salmon, grilled halibut, fish stew, and grilled oysters. Ageing: This wine has huge ageing potential. After three months in the bottle it will present bright, simple flavors of citrus, but after a year the tropical fruits will come out to duel with the white pepper, and after eighteen months to two years the minerality will show through, evoking a spicy dryness. Sweetness Code: 0 (dry). $124.95 plus shipping.

What is Meritage? The 2010 Selection Estate Small Lots 3 Continents Red Meritage was so popular that Winexpert is offering a 3 Continents White Meritage as the Small Lots offering for 2011. For those of you who aren't familiar with the name Meritage, it came into existence back in 1989 in California as a way to define a Bordeaux Blend of grapes that was made on non-French soil. The word Meritage is a combination of merit and heritage which represents the high degree of winemaking skill required to produce these outstanding blends. White Meritage must have two of the following: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle. A single varietal cannot make up more than 90% of the blend and it has to be a high-end wine for the winery, no bargain basement offerings. The taste profile for Meritage is very similar to a Bordeaux since it is made with the same grapes, but not in France.
