Austrian wine was, for a long time, completely off the nation’s radar. And yet this country produces fabulous food friendly premium wines. Grüner Veltliner is, by far the most grown grape variety, and possibly the most flexible and food-friendly white grape in the entire world. Also, luscious Rieslings, dessert wines, and red wines made from the Blaufrankisch Pinot Noir and Zweigelt are a truly magnificent product of this nation. Austria is also home to Riedel, the makers of what some say are the best wine glasses in the world. If you haven't done so recently, try an Austrian wine today.
