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…
