Appreciation of Austrian wine is one of the most interesting trends happening in the wine world right now. The wines are found on every good wine list, are appreciated by wine experts and highly acclaimed by journalists.  What is it that makes Austrian wines so special?  A prime reason is a strong national tradition of winemaking, and grapevines have been cultivated in the Austria's viticultural regions for many thousands of years. Vines are synonymous with the landscape, the culture and daily life. This also applies to the typical Austrian grape varieties, with widespread growth throughout the main wine regions. Coupled with ideal geological and climatic elements, the vines enjoy the best conditions essential for making authentic, distinctive wines with character and personality.  The Austrian vintners and producers have embraced how important it is to successfully combine traditional viticulture with modern vinification processes.  The motto is, quality without compromise and the result has been success without exception. We hope you can drop by on Saturday and try a few of our current favorite Austrian wines!
