With some sage-garlic marinated pork chops*, corn, and a pasta-herb
salad, the 2004 Nigl Kremser Freiheit Grüner Veltliner. Green apple
fruit with a little grapefruit, crisply acidic with a nice
slatey/flinty mineral finish. As it opens up a bit of pea and pepper.
Nice value at $14, and the stelvin means no TCA worries. B+/B

* Like many people, I sometimes buy meats at the supermarket, other
times at speciality shops. But I have decided over last couple years
I'll never buy regular supermarket pork again. I do like Niman Farms,
but these chops, from Dines Farm, were even better. It's like they came
from a different species from those pale, flavorless, water-added
supermarket chops. More color when raw, enough fat not to dry off, real
pork flavor- these won't be mistaken for chicken. If you're in NY metro
area, Dines is represented at a lot of farmers markets (they also have
chicken, eggs, rabbit, etc, and their hot dogs tied for 1st in our Hot
Dog Tasteoff last year vs. 10 competitors)

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of
consistency.

Are these sold outside of NYC?
