Way to go, Smithsonian (Kelly, rather :))! I’ve loved your magazine for years, so I guess I’m not surprised to read that one of your five white wines to drink this summer is an Austrian Gruner Veltliner. In my opinion, this is one of Austria’s best varietals.

It’s also neat that you chose a wine from Austria’s Kremstal region. There, 2,250 hectares of vineyard display a multitude of established winemakers and a variety of up-and-comers. It’s also an incredibly beautiful region in Austria, with dreamy, painted landscape views and one charming village after another. Totally amazing.

I have a real fondness for Austrian wines since my trip there. Glad to read about one of them in your post so that more people in the U.S. (and around the world) can learn about them and hopefully develop a fondness for them, too.

Cheers!

Prosecco is very good. One of the best of Veneto region. Italian white wines are exellent, but red ones are poorer quality.
