This Grüner Veltliner is the most food-friendly wine, ever. Dancing Coyote picks their grapes at two different intervals, which results in a luscious, acidic white with flavors of ripe stone fruit (peach, apricot) as well as brighter notes like green pepper and citrus. This wine also sees zero oak (100% of the juice is fermented in stainless steel barrels), which gives it a crisp, mineral finish.

But really, this wine looks good with everything.
