Say This 5 Times Fast: Bio-Weingut H.U.M. Hofer Grüner Veltliner

May 5, 2010

On Monday I bundled Alex in my Ergo Sport baby carrier (which I’m in love with!) and turned in my thesis. It now becomes part of the Smithsonian’s collection, which I find fairly unbelievably awesome.  I’ve spent the last 48 hours in a post deadline stupor but have been drinking a few celebratory glasses of my new favorite white wine: Bio-Weingut H.U.M Hofer Gruner Veltiner.  It comes in liter bottles with a soda bottle cap! I love that. In fact, I’m planning a summer party all around this wine (and bottle — it looks crisp and unexpected on the table).  It is the perfect spring wine — light, refreshing and makes me feel glamorous. Like maybe the way sitting cross legged on the deck of a Parisian barge moored on the Seine would feel. $13.99 at Whole Foods Wine.  Image from Second Glass.
