Greetings we have made contact here are some highlights from the last few days.

This dirt is crawling with life. Including some very happy riesling vines.

A little botrytis anyone? 09 is shaping up well in Rust.
Your wine maker Brigit Pfnizsl next to her organic Kekfrankos.

That bag on the line is hair from people to scare the deer away from a small plot of malbec grapes that they can't get enough of. The deer must be from Argentina or Cahors because they only eat the malbec.
Brigit's sister has a food show that was being filmed while we were at her family's winery in Burganland.
Wow its sunny on the lake!
Erich from Rossenhof and I.

Just pressed Muller Thurgau the first grape to be harvested. Yummy stuff.
The Neusidlersee is only waist deep. No diving allowed.
