Wine Details
Opens with lovely nose of sweet, ripe lemon blossom and white peach notes underpinned with apricot, melon and orange marmalade notes. Fleshy and round on entry, but amply structured around a pretty, schisty minerality that leads to a clean, pure, tangerine driven finish with a kiss of white pepper. An incredibly versatile wine, feel confident serving this as an aperitif on its own or pairing it wine with anything from cheese, roasted chicken, and pork to seafood and spicy Asian cuisine.

Cam Confidential
A crisp and dry white wine with origins in Austria, Gruner is known for its food pairing versatility and refreshing acidity. It's rarely planted outside of Austria, but California’s Clarksburg AVA features a microclimate and alluvial/riverbed soil structure perfect for growing this varietal – cool maritime breezes from the bay make for warm summer days and cool evenings usually about 10 degrees lower than Napa Valley just to the north. Produced by a family owned winery in Clarksburg dating back to the early 1900s, Lot 635 is fermented in stainless steel and aged on light lees for texture – a delicious Californian expression of an Austrian classic.

Great Chard Alternative
Really liked this one - hard to beat the quality/value ratio here. Crisp, refreshing orange citrus and pleasant lingering acidity.

White Winner
There is plenty of fruit on the nose, not just citrus. On the palate, it is tart, but not overly so. It is definitely not sweet. It is a bargain at $10.00. Give it a try. You will not be disappointed.

Great White, Great Value
My wife has been almost exclusively a Chardonnay drinker. Lately we have been exploring other whites. This one really hits the mark. Very nice balance between fruit and acidity. Crisp dry everyday drinking white - especially in the summer. And the price... Wow! You can't go wrong with this Gruner Vetliner. Our first of this varietal; it inspires us to try other GVs.

A wine for drinking
I first drank Grüner Veltliner not in Austria but Luxembourg, and Lot 635 took me back there. There's fruit and a hint of mineral and a wonderful soft citrus finish. Makes a great appertif but also goes nicely with white fish--sole, flounder or trout--and chicken. And the price point is incredible.

Nice Wine.
I have reviewed this before. I've had more than 5 cases and if I had more storage space I'd get more. Excellent wine for almost any occasion or purpose.

Crisp wine
This is one of my favorites now. It is crisp with just the right amount of fruity flavors and not too sweet.

Amazing!
I can't say enough good about this Gruner! I was surprised when I opened it on Xmas Eve...so yummy with our snacks to start that we poured it again with our roast duck. Ordering a case to lay down today.

Not for me
First time trying this wine. The price is good, but something wasn't quite right for me. Maybe my taste bud was off, or could have been pairing of food, but it just didn't taste right. But since the price is low, I might give it another try in the near future with different pairing of food
