Grüner Veltliner

The apartment we rented for this trip has a nice kitchen, and we try to cook dinners as much as possible (to reduce the salt intake and the Euro outflow). I saw a large selection of Grüner Veltiner at the supermarket nearby, and bought a bottle. I don't know much about white wine, but learned after the purchase that this variety is mainly grown in Austria and the Czech Republic, and pairs well with asparagus. Well, we had white asparagus for dinner by chance. This bottle is a good value for 8€, and is rather fruity. It did indeed go well with our asparagus, salad and pasta.
