Hello Michal,
On Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:57:05 +0100, Michael Pronay wrote: IanH wrote: I'd love to try one [Badacsony Szürkebarat] against chinese or indian food, because that's the wine I always think of in that context, and which I have to sub an Alsace Gewurz in place of. Try a powerful Grüner Veltliner (13% or up): Does exceptionally well. Actually, remembering the wines we tasted a t Vinexpo. that makes sense. In fact there's a very idiosyncratic chinese restaurant called "Hunan" in London, where the son, who is taking over the business, is a complete nut about wine. Rather a losing battle in a chinese restaurant, one might think! Anyway, I guess you have travelled abroad enough to know that Grüner Veltliner, whether powerful or not is almost unknown in restaurants outside Austria, more's the pity. It's a measure of the wine list at the Hunan that they have not just one GV, but two there - and at very reasonable markups. So I've no excuses. Thanks. -- All the best Fatty from Forges |

Here in the USA, or at least in Tucson where I live, it's far from being unknown. Not every restaurant has it on its wine list, but several of them do. -- Ken Blake Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Rather a losing battle in a chinese restaurant, one might think! Especially with the cuisine of Hunan Province!!! Graham |

Thanks for the info, Anders. M. |

One of them is that the cuisine is not in fact from that Province, more's the pity. Another is that they don't have a menu. You arrive, and some time later, so does your food. But for my money it's one of the best Chinese (canton-ish) restaurants I've ever been to, though I know many who hate the place. -- All the best Fatty from Forges |

That's very interesting, because since I've known Michael and since the tasting he gave me, I've tended to look out for the grape, and see it VERY rarely. You're fortunate. I'd not expect to find it here in France, but it's not common in the UK either. -- All the best Fatty from Forges |
