    Grüner Veltliner Shines East

    The eminently refreshing GV is a relatively recent grape for the entirety of the US. On the heels of their commitment to Riesling, Galen Glen were the first to plant it out east while Bellview has found success with it amongst the multitude of varieties they cultivate. We learn of their work with it while tasting their examples along with two from New York--the Finger Lakes' Ryan William and our local Hudson Valley's Millbrook.

    At Home with a German Red Wine Star - Rainer Schnaitmann

    Rainer Schnaitmann was introduced to me in 1998 by a man greatly responsible for my entering the wine world, Helmut Doka, himself then a Stuttgart city councillor with a brief charging him to oversee his city's vineyards. He met and was impressed by the first vintage made by the then new vintner who was one of handful of dynamic young Germans turning its wines' stodgy stylings into those with far better results. Schnaitmann's wines have gone from strength to strength enjoying exemplary critical comments and widespread distribution.

    Albariño From The Atlantic's Other Side

    Joined by a late-arriving Carlo, David passes time and bright young wines with Matt Spaccarelli of Fjord from across the Hudson River in-studio while Zooming in are Todd Wuerker of New Jersey's Hawk Haven in Cape May and Rob Deford of Maryland's Boordy near Baltimore. The convo spans deep dives into grapegrowing and winemaking interspersed with spontaneous food pairing recommendations and art references. First planted by all three guests in 2013, Albariño from the Atlantic's western edge is well worth searching out and drinking.
