What to Drink

2010 Brundlmayer Grüner Veltliner 'Terrassen', Kamptal, Austria

Every week, world-renowned sommelier, Rajat Parr, shares advice and tasting notes on what to drink with our featured meal. 

 

Grüner Veltliner, an indigenous grape to Austria, is often mistaken for chardonnay, but it is the varietal’s white pepper finish that distinguishes itself from other fish-friendly whites. The distinct spice and botanical flavors of this Grüner Veltliner make a fantastic accompaniment to the grilled cucumber and spices in the yogurt tahini and fava bean falafel. In this complimentary pairing, the clean but slightly oily texture of the wine mimics that of the ahi tuna while the acidity helps to cleanse the palate.
