Austrian Wine Tasting

We've done South African, New Zealand, Napa, Sonoma, and I'm sure a few other wine regions on here, but not Austrian yet, until now. No, not Australian, Austrian. That little country in the middle of Europe known for its Grüner Veltliner. What's that, you ask? I have no idea! I have yet to taste many Austrian wines, so now's the time!

Next Monday, the 21st there will be an Austrian wine tasting event at the ferry building. It's put on by the Masters of Wine, a British organization "to promote the highest level of educational achievement for the wine industry." So you might just learn a thing or two while you're there. And if you don't want to show up knowing NOTHING about Austrian wine, I found this site to shed some light.
