Second wine of the night, to bridge dinner and dessert (we do have guests over) is a Gruner Veltliner from Austria. I thought I was opening a sweeter wine but instead got loads of green apple. Loads. Imagine a green apple Jolly Rancher candy without only a hint of the sweetness. Great acidity and pucker follow the initial taste. A minute later the acidity fades and the palate clears completely and we are left ready to try another sip.... continuing the cycle. Thankfully its an $11 wine so we will move along.
