Rosenberg is one of the best-known Grüner Veltliner vineyards in Austria. Very aromatic, full of round fruit and balanced with crisp acidity. The distinct soil lends a pleasant mineral and white pepper note typical of this varietal. Pairs well with a wide range of foods, including Asian cuisine and fish with fresh herbs.    Excellent value and quality!

Jalits Blaufränkisch Rose'  2015  Reg. - $15.99; Saturday - $13.60    
Aromas of wild strawberries and cherries. On the palate a perfect balnce of the fruit and the acidity.
A great aperitiv wine and perfect with spicy food.
Authentic wines from an authentic region. The winery Jalits led by the winegrower Mathias stays true to this principle. "On the Eisenberg, we greatly benefit from the ideal circumstances for pressing incomparable wines which are typical for the region", says the winegrower. Mathias Jalits has found his own style: his wines are powerful, marked by the Eisenberg's minerality. "We focus on enhancing the traditional and we avoid making daring experiments.
                                        
Leo Hillinger Blaufränkisch Leithaberg DAC 2013      Reg. - $34.99 Saturday - $29.75                                           
The Leithaberg DAC has a dark ruby red with a black core. Ripe cherry, blackberry, graphite, licorice, and spicy notes. Fresh cherry-fruits on the plate, tight structure, but soft. A wine with elegant tannin, good acidity, dark berries and good spice on the long smooth finish. This wine matches more than perfectly to grilled steaks, lamb and venison.                                                                  Wine Enthusiast 92 pts,    Falstaff 92 pts

Anton Bauer Blaufränkisch 2012   Reg. - $34.99 Saturday - $29.75
Dark ruby with nearly opaque core, violet highlights and a thin, transparent rim. Dark berry fruit, blackberry jam and dark minerals. A juicy, sweetly extracted core is elegantly wrapped in a harmonious veil of fine-grained tannin. The long finish has textures of dark fruit and notes of Chocolate. Potential for further development and ageing.                                         
Falstaff Austria 92pts
The Washington Post - By Dave McIntyre Columnist, Food September 24,            
Zweigelt is Austria’s best-known red, but many winemakers view Blaufränkisch as the more serious wine. With this reserve, Anton Bauer has crafted an elegant and lovely wine, with silky texture and an energy that carries its flavors of cherry and white pepper soaring. This is an unfamiliar wine made from an unfamiliar grape, and it isn’t inexpensive. It is worth trying. Also worth noting: This is from the area northwest of Vienna known for its outstanding white wines (Gruner Veltliner and Riesling, especially), while Blaufränkisch typically excels further south in Burgenland.

50% Welschriesling and 50% Scheurebe  - Liquid gold, this BA has an elegant nose with some honey and peach. It is complex and intense on the palate with juicy apricot and harmonious acidity on the finish, which lingers on and on.
