Finding Austrian wines - 8/2/2008 10:13:04 AM

I've been fortunate enough to have several extended trips to Austria over the last 10 years and I have become quite fond of many Austrian non-dessert wines. Gruener Veltliner, of course, but also Morillon, Zweigelt, and Blaufraenkisch. I'm pleased to see an increasing number of restaurants adding Gruener Veltliner to their list, but I've been disappointed that retailers in my area (Denver metro) have not been providing shelf space for more Austrian wines. Is anyone aware of online sources that have a reasonably wide selection of Austrian wines?

Both remarkably nice people.
Try the Stadlmann zierfandler Mandel-Hoh from Age of Riesling. A great, unique wine.

What great suggestions! Thank you very much. I've enjoyed browsing both sites and look forward to narrowing down the selections and comparing the offerings with my wish list. I also look forward to trying the Stadlmann zierfandler Mandel-Hoh.
