($20): Grüner Veltliner, Austria’s “national” white grape, is capable of making delectable wines.  And Nigl has done just that.  There’s a hint of white pepper that beautifully offsets subtle peach-like flavors.  Potent acidity keeps in bright and lively throughout a meal.  The meaty texture of the wine makes it a good choice when grilling swordfish.
