Good to see Johann Donabaum getting his due in that article, especially
in such august company (Hirsch, Loibner, Brundlmayer, Gobelsburg). I
didn't taste the wine they tasted when I was at VinoVenue, but I still
think that they may have shortchanged him a star ;-)

Hmmm... GV is just a poor excuse for Riesling?? Sorry, but I can't
agree. As much as I appreciate the qualities of a good Riesling, GV is
an even more versatile food wine IMO owing to its not being so aromatic.
