Sommer Gruner Veltliner

[Thomas]

I understand panorth's dilemma. At Vinexpo in NYCity a few motnhs ago I tasted a round of spectacular Gruner Veltliners. But the prices! It truly is difficult to imagine paying so much for the wines, yet I suppose people do. I simply figured my customers would not, and so I discovered the Sommer.

In spite of, or maybe because of, his crusading disregard for the rest of the wine world, Willie G. comes up with some nice finds in Germany and Austria. I hate the frivolous labels, although I know why he makes the producers use them.
