Featured Winery

This week we celebrate value from Austria. Paul D. wines have been stalwarts at OWS since we first opened in 2011. Located in in the village of Mitterstockstall in the Wagram region. The Wagram roughly consists of a 25-mile long ridge between the towns of Krems and Tulln with soils made up of ancient gravel sediments from the Danube River as well as layers of loess that formed in the ice age which cover the substrate of marine deposits and river gravels. The name Wagram comes from "Wogenrain" meaning "seashore". The wines are characterize by the fertile loess soil and favorable climatic conditions.

Paul D., Gruner Veltliner, Austria 2022

This charming Grüner Veltliner ranks among the best white wine values year after year. Bright yellow-green color. On the nose aromas of winter apple, florals, white currant and honeydew melon. On the palate aromas of green apple, citrus and classic white pepper; good acidity and excellent finish.

Paul D., Zweigelt, Austria 2022

Very aromatic with lively red-violet color. Aromas of sour cherries, plum, vanilla and a hint of pepper. Full-bodied with long finish. Reminiscent of a young Cru Beaujolais, only with more fruit and tannins.

Wines of the week

Finca Valldosera, Red Massis del Garraf, Spain 2014

This red wine is a blend of Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah.  The each varietal lends its characteristics to make a lively and rich wine.  The aromatics show off sweet red fruit notes mixed with a touch of tobacco and cedar notes.  On the palate the youth has transformed into a complex wave of red currant, black cherry, cassis, chocolate notes with mellow supple tannins and balanced acidity.  The finish lingers long enough for your next sip.
