A simple, yet effective Grüner. Green apple is predominant on the nose, accompanied by some funky brine, flint & wet slate. Also a eucalyptus note that I find different & interesting. Palate shows more green - apple & pear skin. Underripe stone fruit, a white pepper layer, and a nice bit of acidity to keep the wine honest. Finish is short, but for $13.99 you could do much worse.

A Gruner lead by earth, saltiness, and minerality. Green apples and green citrus on nose, refreshing, clean, and very distinctly Gruner on palate. Enjoyable, and still evolving in the glass.

Simple - green fruit w/ some mild notes of slate. Crowd pleaser. 1 Liter for $14 is pretty difficult to beat.

This has been a WF house white for some time. Very reasonable and easy drinking. Green apple, and perhaps a touch of honey?

I freaking love this wine. So refreshing. A great white. Dry but not overly so.
