The Austrian Wine Marketing Board and the Austrian Trade Commission are hosting an event in San Francisco on May 3 that is sure to be a good time.
The event is called "Austria Uncorked" and features more than 80 Austrian winemakers (along with Austrian cheeses to cleanse your palate ...).
Austrian wine has long been a favorite of mine; in-the-know restaurant wine lists always slip in a few bottles with unpronounceable names (blaufrankisch, anyone), knowing that the lower alcohol and food-friendly characteristics of Austrian wine make it a great match for a variety of cuisines - Eastern European to asian, and everything in between. And if you have a hankering for some hard-to-find Austrian wines, check out the selection at Winemonger.com (my writeup from years ago here).
So if you will be in San Francisco on May 3 and would like to attend, use the discount code BLOGAUSTRIA for $5 off the ticket price. Ping me in the comments, on Twitter, or by email (in the Email Me link on the top right near the blog header) if you'd like to meet up - see you there!
