That’s how Gary Vaynerchuk, host of Wine Library TV, describes the popular Austrian grape, gruner veltliner. Check out this episode–fairly entertaining and quite informative– where a handful of gruners are tasted, spat and reviewed.

Note to SLO winemakers: This wine got quite a bit of hype last year due primarily to some well-publicised blind tastings, side-by-side with big name chardonnays. Maybe the same can be done with some lesser-known Slovenian varietals?
