Staff Pick Notes

What would you like to know about this wine? I could lead off with the technical bits like Elbling was once Germany's most widely planted grape. Or I could say that the variety is high in acid and low in sugar, making for a low ABV wine that ripens well in areas where Riesling does not. Or how about this? Elbling is a bright, zesty, eye opener of a wine! Lemony citrus and subtle white flowers make for a zippy, mouth-watering thrill ride on the palate.

If you get my drift and this sounds like you want it, then what are you waiting for? Get a filet or two of Branzino on your way home & queue up some reruns on TV Land for a really good time.
