Subject: austrian reds |
| Michael, Several of the top red wines of Austria are hard to find even HERE in Austria - at least 4 years after the vintage as with the 2000. Of course I have no idea about exact selection, retailers and stock of these wines in the USA - there are others more informed than me -, but production of all these special cuvées is rather small - and even here in the country of origin you have either to make reservations early on - or at least hurry and buy them when released. Kind regards from Austria Gerhard Gerhard Praesent (Composer, Conductor) BS 58 A-8063 Eggersdorf/Graz Austria - Europe Phone&Fax: +43 3117 2025 e-mail: praesent@telering.at web-site: www.alea.at ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Ault" <mike@ault.name> To: <wineforum@wein-plus.de> Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 3:38 PM Subject: [wineforum] austrian reds > > i'm a huge fan of austrian reds, but living in the u.s., i find it > quite difficult to track them down. austrian whites, on the other > hand, are plentiful and easy to find. > > although i live in new york and have easy access to great wine > stores, selection is limited and some of the items that i'm looking > for just can't be found (e.g., '00 anton iby cuvee anton, '00 johann > heinrich terra o., '00 krutzler perwolff & eichkogel, '00 t-fx-t > arachon, '00 gernot heinrich gabarinza, ...). it seems that chicago > area retailers have the best austrian red selection, likely due to > the fact that the primary austrian red wine importer is vin divino, > based in chicago. in fact, most of my austrian red collection has > come from chicago-based online retailers. > > so my questions are: can anybody suggest how i might be able to more > successfully source the austrian reds that i want? also, could you > please note and describe the austrian reds that you recommend (you > may have gathered from the above examples that i like the blends, > however, i would also be grateful for single varietal suggestions)? > your advice is greatly appreciated! > > -michael ault > > This message was created using the Web-based forum : > www.wein-plus.com/forum/ |
