Sweet baking spices fill the glass like a Christkindlmarkt in this very Teutonic styled Blaufrankisch.

Exactly what you expect of high quality Gruner; versatile enough to pair with the flavors of salads as an aperitif but enough acid to cut through and pair with a Chicago style hot dog if you go in that flavor direction.
