Broadbent Selections (Musar, +++) (Western Reserve Wines): My first time trying this wine. It sells for $13 in a 1L bottle. That is an amazing deal, especially for a Gruner from Austria. Light golden in color. The nose is very nice with limes and a slight sweetness to the nose. some minerality. Enough acidity. On the palate, limes with a touch of asparagus on the finish. Very friendly wine. Not a lot of complexity, but not shallow either. Given that is is 4 years from vintage, this does not show any age (of course, i dont know what it was like young) that I would worry about for the next couple of years anyway. Seemed to be a crowd please.

Light gold in color with some green at the edges, this wine showed flint, lemon, lime and green apple on the nose. The mouth feel was dry with crisp acidity, minerality and a spicy note. The finish was persistent with the citrus and mineral notes pairing well.
Tasted at Talula's Garden in Philly as part of an 8 course menu with wine pairings, it was an excellent pairing with our Second Course of Golden and Ruby Beet Tart, Flaky Pastry, Whipped Local Goat Cheese, Herbs, Frilly Greens, Pickled Rhubarb, and Toasted Almond.
