Von Strasser entered the Gruner game a couple of years ago, and while this bottling isn’t exactly cheap, it sure is good. It’s very rich in Asian pear, peach tart, crunchy green apple, honeysuckle and spice flavors, and while it tastes a little sweet, it turns crisp and clean on the finish. Really superb, a cross between a rich Chardonnay and a zesty Pinot Gris.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 90
