The Wines!!

Pinot Gris $11.99

Given its uncomplicated nature, Pinot Gris, also known as Grauburgunder in Austria, is very enjoyable to drink. A golden yellow color with an aroma reminiscent of exotic fruits and fresh nuts, with a fine honey note in the background, which is pleasantly reflected in the mouth. The finish is dry, pleasant and long. This wine is ideal forfish, white meat dishes and vegetables or simply as an elegant wine to drink on its own.

"Leithaberg" Pinot Blanc $29.99

Leithaberg is a foothill of the Alps on the western edge of Burgenland – produced from 40-year old vines and this wine reflects all that! Straw yellow in color, it shows the mineral content and salinity of the lime and slate soil. Aromas of peach, nuts and smoke. Juicy with a good complexity and firm texture, white fruit nuances, and fresh, while maintaining its structure. A wine that grabs your attention through its elegant yet distinctive minerality and pleasantly long palate. Great aging potential.
