Staff Pick Notes

Drinking this wine was a pleasant experience of discovery. On the nose and palate there is a cocktail of stone fruit which is moderately dry. It was not a great match for my grilled salmon on night 1. But I gave a it try on night 2 and found it to be the perfect complement to lightly breaded and fried haddock with steamed vegetables. That little extra airing made a big difference. In fact the wine had evolved to show lovely lemon zest and a nice backbone. I would have expected a wine initially soft to have gotten flabby, but it got tighter and more delightful. Use it with not- too-heavy fried foods and it will not let you down.

Blauer Zweigelt), which yields full-bodied wines, deep in color and featuring bold flavors of...
