  Leth Gruner Vetliner 2011

  Snoothrank: Starting at $15^.99

  The Leth Gruner Veltliner 2010 is a rich Gruner, but also expresses high levels of acid and minerality and lots of fruit.

  Fred Loimer Grüner Veltliner Kamptal 2011

  Snoothrank:

  Lots of green apple and spice with a distinct minerality. Perfect wine to get into on a sunny afternoon.

My name is Constance Chamberlain and I am very thankful to have been ... line, my expertise lies in Austria, Chile, and also Greece - I've also dabbled in many other wines around the world including Australia, Argentina, France, Spain, California, and more. Currently, I am a marketing-public relations professional who does promotional work for the Austrian Wine Marketing Board, Wines of Chile, and Pernod Ricard Wines USA. In the past, I spent two years working on the Wines from Santorini campaign and have done smaller projects for bodies such as Wine Australia, Wines of Spain, and Vinexpo. I am currently working on my Diploma from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) and hope to finish within the next year. I am also playing with the idea of other wine education programs, but no concrete plans have been made yet! I am also the proud recipient of the 2012 Les Dames d'Escoffiers of New York/International Wine Center scholarship award.I first fell in love with wine while studying abroad in Rhodes, Greece, but it wasn't until a few years later that i realized I could make an entire career out of it! (I also had to turn 21!) Greece made me realize how amazing wine is not only to drink, but in its relation to culture. My major in college was sociology so I was fascinated by this fact! A year out of college while studying for my LSATs I decided wine was what I would do. I worked with a boutique importer for a short period of time in New York City before taking my current position a few months later... I've never looked back. In addition to my full time job, I'm also a freelance wine tasting consultant and freelance wine writer. You can check out my articles regularly on DoValle.com, BoozeMenus.com (wine of the week posts and venue write-ups!), and in Drink Me Magazine... you might even see a post or two here at some point! While in the business, I've had the chance to explore vineyards in Australia, Austria, Greece, Chile, California, Virgina, and Washington - I hope to add many more to that list soon! At the end of the month (May) I will be taking an even more in-depth tour of the wine regions in Austria than I have before so stay tuned for some tasting notes!I love to learn and the good thing about wine is that there is always something new to learn! So come learn with me    (hide)

  Brundlmayer St. Laurent Ried Ladner 2004

  Snoothrank:

  A rather expressive nose, with earth, leather, drying cherry, plum, and subtle violet notes. Medium-bodied and soft on the palate, with similar notes as the nose.

  Tegernseerhof Gruner Veltliner T-26 2010

  Snoothrank:

  Classified as Federspiel, this Gruner Veltliner is exceptionally concentrated. Medium-bodied, with citrus, stone fruits, mineral, and clean, zippy acidity.

Read moreSo, when we found out we would not be sending our older daughter to private ... I spent 4+ weeks in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France.  No Italy in there; went to Avignon and could consider returning, but not an absolute must.  Also did Epernay and Reims that trip, and probably could save the return to Champagne-land for another time, too.We're traveling with two pre-teen kids, so extended wine tasting is not in the picture.  But planting ourselves in the countryside for a week somewhere along the way is.  (Tuscany? Piemonte? Umbria?) And somewhere in there, we'll stop in Switzerland and visit a few friends.  (Guess I better try some Chasselas soon.)So, wine-loving, world-traveling Snoothers, throw some ideas my way.  Where to eat, stop for wine, cities you would see more or less on that route.  Keep in mind that we will try very hard to NOT have a car, using trains and walking as much as possible. Pretty broad mandate, but ask questions and I can narrow a few things down. One thing I am strongly considering is ambling through the Loire--I know, kind of touristy--so recos on places to stay and ways to get around (probably not bicycles unless it's really short each day) are especially welcome    (hide)

  Snoothrank:

  Sit back, relax and smell the kaleidoscope of aromas wafting up from your glass. Truly a wonderful wine made from a field blend of grapes.Note- I had the 2010 vintage, not the 2008.

  The perfect wine for fiddle head ferns, ramps or asparagus salads. Citrus notes with a white pepper finish.
