A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. I've had a few of the Gruber-Roschitz Gruners over the last year and been pretty underwhelmed. I don't think this is a TotalWines exclusive, but that (and the Saranty Imports) suggests such. But I needed a dessert wine & this looked to be promising. It was OK...but just that. Doubt I'll revisit Gruber-Roschitz again. There whimisical labels are easy to identify on the Total Wines shelf.
