Grape Index:  Varietals Characters

This is the place to make lots of new friends... maybe even fall in love! The wine world is full of "varietal characters", each with a personality all its own. Of course they're not all aristocrats, or even the finest clonal selections, but altogether they're a very rich bunch..."rich" in the spice that keeps life interesting - VARIETY!

Varietal Character of the Week

Gruner Veltliner

Young, hip and fresh, dancing to the beat of your own groove. You are nervy with a clever spice. Your modish Euro-style is totally chic for the bars and clubs of Vienna, but it’s a fashion yet to catch on with the American couture trendies. (more)
