More rotlieb from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. This was a wine brought back from Vienna by Doug Wilson recently to share with us. His mission was to scout out a Roter Veltliner.
Roter Veltliner is not directly related to Gruner Veltliner, though they do have some parentage in their history. The few Roters I've tried have not been particularly inspiring. This was probably the best Roter that I've yet tried.
Roter is mostly found in the Wagram. Josef Fritz, a producer I've never tried, is a champion of the Roter variety. Some say he makes the best examples of this variety.

Interesting.

Way back in 1999 (December 26, 1999 to be precise) I had the opportunity to taste a 1973 Brundlmayer Roter Veltliner. It was quite enjoyable for about 45 minutes before it fell apart. Have not had one since, though I did see one when I was on a business trip several years ago.

Well, David.... being one to try odd stuff, I've tried probably a dozen or so. They have been vaguely Austrian in style, but just not very distinctive.
