I have a been a subscriber to the 30 second wine advisor for at least 7 years. They use to evaluate wines under $10 and of good quality. Well the economy has changed but the 30 Wine Advisor stills tries to find economical quality wines but under $20. MCCN would like to spotlight their wine picks once or twice a month.- Crystal A.

Bio-Weingut H.u.M. Hofer 2007 Weinviertel DAC Grüner Veltliner ($16.99)
Clear straw color. Fresh pears and apples, a bit on the fruity side for a GV, but that signature stony minerality is present in the finish. Dry and tart, just a touch of prickly carbonation on the tongue. Tart white fruit, “stony” minerality and a quick grind of white pepper in a long finish. Sealed with a sturdy metal screwcap to banish cork “taint” and preserve freshness. U.S. importer: Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, N.Y., A Terry Theise Estate Selection. (Dec. 6, 2009)
FOOD MATCH: Like most GV, this makes a versatile match with a range of fare. It went well with cheese and veggie pizzas on the first night; pan-seared, oven-roasted natural pork chops with sage a few nights later. With more than half the bottle remaining, under screwcap and refrigerated, it showed no perceptible deterioration over a four-day period.
