  Another Grüner
  
  Just the other day I reviewed a Grüner Veltliner from Loimer, “Grocery Store Wine – A New Era?” I liked the wine and Grüner is a favorite of mine. Then I get this offer for another Grüner, what am I to do? Buy it of course.
  
  While the Loimer was from Kamptal, Austria this one was from Wagram. Interestingly, the two regions are relative neighbors; both in the Northeast area of Austria, but both capable of producing some wonderful wines. This time it’s the

  While I enjoyed the Loimer, I have to give a slight nudge to the Leth, it had a touch more fruit note giving it a certain roundness and drinkability sans food, as well as the traditional minerality, acidity and that white pepper spiciness on the finish. At right around the same price, either is a welcome addition to the Summer months ahead. For the patio, go for Leth, something a little more food-friendly, try the Loimer. Either way, you can’t go wrong.
  
  Cheers

  Off white. Light, floral fragrance, not as crisp as some, more of a creamy style with pear. Easy drinking, pleasant wine.
