Zweigelt (pronounced zvi gelt) is the name of the red varietal typical of Austria and Germany. Not many bottles make it to the U.S., since it’s not a common grape domestically. This is a light red (a little lighter than a Pinot Noir) that will cut through a cream sauce on meat with such precision—and only this area is really capable of growing and making this wine. So dust off a few old cookbooks and try your hand at some schnitzel to see what I am talking about...maybe even make some spaetzel. Stay away from strong herbs! Great value—1 liter!! This is probably one of the wines that WU members go crazy for the most!
