10 Wines for the Chrismukkah of a Lifetime
At our house, we will be lighting our Christmas tree and serving Domäne Wachau 2015 Grüner Veltliner (above), which you can find at the Houston Wine Merchant for $20. It's fresh on the nose and dry on the palate, with lovely fruit and minerality. A one-dimensional wine, for sure, but a perfectly and utterly delicious common denominator for the occasion. The Merchant and Spec's are arguably the best resources for German-speaking wine in Houston. Spec's has the more aggressive pricing and a larger selection, including a wide array of sweet and dry Riesling. And both have excellent high-end wines.
