Posted on 29/08/2018 by dccrossley

Vienna now ranks alongside cities like London, Paris and Berlin for adventurous winelovers to dine out in, but it is the only city among these to have its own vineyards, which begin literally at the garden fences of its northern … Continue reading →

Wieninger and Wiener Wein

Posted on 23/08/2018 by dccrossley

It is no secret that I have a disproportionate passion for Wiener Gemischter Satz, compared that is to most sane wine obsessives. It’s not just the flavours, nor an interest in field blends in general. Once you’ve seen these unique, … Continue reading →

Sisters Are Doin’ It at Weingut Renner

Posted on 21/08/2018 by dccrossley

Our trip to visit Rennersistas at Gols began very early with a forty-five minute train ride from Vienna Hauptbahnhof to Neusiedl-am-See, and an eleven kilometre cycle into the wind. It made us slightly late and very hot for our 10.30 appointment, but … Continue reading →

Spring Treats – Four Recent Wines

Posted on 03/05/2016 by dccrossley

Viennese Whirl

Posted on 26/05/2015 by dccrossley

Before Rust (see last post) we spent a week in Vienna consuming way too much food (and just about the right amount of wine). It was only my second visit to Vienna. I thought that after two visits my desire … Continue reading →
