International Food Pairings


Schnitzel

One of Austria’s most iconic dishes is the wiener schnitzel: a thin cutlet of meat, tenderized, breaded and fried. It is often served with a lemon, but I believe every serving should be accompanied by a glass of Gruner Veltliner. Notes of stone fruit and white pepper play perfectly into this dish, but the most notable quality of this wine is its acidity. The slice of lemon on the side is nice, but nothing cleanses the palate like a well structured wine, brimming with bright character.
