Todays Bargain Wine – Blauer Zweigelt
Though I’m spending a lot of time in Germany right now, I’m not a HUGE fan of German wines. Sure there are some awesome vintages out there but they are a bit out of my price range at the present.
Right now, I’m having a late lunch and enjoying a very hearty and meaty Spaghetti Bolognese. I scored on a lovely tasting (and cheap €2.49) bottle of red wine from Burgenland Osterreich, or Austria for you English peeps out there.
2008 was a particularly fine year for wines from the region however I wish this bottle was another year old and then I believe it would have an even fuller taste. For the price, I am in no way disappointed. I fear however, it must be drunk today. Good thing I’m in the mood for a good buzz…
Blauer Zeigelt Selection (Trocken)
Today, Kamary, I made a cabbage strudel (and it was yummy). I served a 2007 Pinot Gris from the Alsace region. It had 13.5% alcohol and was beautifully fruity. I think I could get used to drinking wine!
