  Zantho Zweigelt 2006

  Snoothrank: Starting at $14^.94

  A nice wine, soft nose with moist pine duff aromas; fresh fruit flavors with a little bite in the aftertaste. I'd try serving this with something unorthodox: Mexican fajitas or black bean soup laced with cummin and garnished with sour cream and fresh cilantro.

  Heinrich Blaufrankisch 2005

  Snoothrank:

  Powerful mineral, earth and to a lesser extent, smoke and moss flavors. The fruit is present, but thin. Interesting. Would nicely accompany a meal of beef rouladen and dumplings. A fairly priced table wine.

  Weingut Brandl Riesling Zobinger Heiligenstein 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Hell's hill awaits and here like there its hot, which means when fermented dry there's power and alcohol. Just add rocks and a squeeze of lemon and we have a delicious, dry, powerful Riesling.

  Anton Iby Blaufrankisch Durrau 2004

  Snoothrank:

  This single vineyard Blaufrankisch soars to new heights with deeply saturated, vibrant, spicy tones & pure red fruits with a touch of new oak. It will spoil you for any Blaufrankisch in the future.

  Alois Kracher Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese No 8 2005

  Snoothrank:

  The spirit of the late Alois Kracher lives on with this tropical honeyed peach, apricot & candied apple with a profound perfumed style. The rich and weighty palate is gorgeously balanced and delicous.

Read morePhilip (and sorry, John, I'm not attempting to hijack the thread), have you ... well done, from a guy in Austria who knows surprisingly well how to make fruit wines. Twice fermented with a lovely foaminess and a sophisticated taste profile that shocked me. 'Juice' that was effortless to drink. And very different from cider. I've had a lot of that from Normandy, and some is also quite good, though not at all like any British cider I've had (and which I don't like nearly as much). Then there's always Eric Bordelet's Poiré "Granit" or his apple 'cidre' which doesn't seem like cider anymore. Or Raumland Sparkling Cassis Secco, which has been surprisingly popular at BBQ. Somehow I don't feel I'm as off-track with any of these as I sometimes do with a muscat.... John, back on track, I have liked the Clos Jordanne. But haven't had any since Constellation took over. Any changes in the winemaking there? I read that the accountants axed the Frank Gehry-designed winery building, and just put in more grapes, instead...    (hide)
