Terry Theise being "Groovey." The Wines of Austria

GrĂ¼ner Veltliner - The last of the great European white-wine grapes. Unique. Adaptable. Food-loving, and delicious. Terry Theise "The Austrian wine scene is no longer mint, it doesnt have that new-car smell. Its settling in to what it actually is, showing its lines and creases, and what it will sustain. Also changing is that restless spirit of envelopepushing, and this is a very good thing. It might be fun to gun the motor and watch the rpms climb but sooner or later you have to cruise and then you want the motor to hum, not yell." Don't miss this episode when Terry takes us behind the scenes of the Austrian wine trade.
