Sunday trip




The town of Retz, about 50 miles NNW of Vienna, only a few miles from the neighbouring country Czech Republic, is a small town with 4.000 inhabitants.
Oh yes, this is a small town, even in Austria!!!

Retz is famous for its wine culture.

We made a trip to Retz last weekend because my niece attends a 3 years tourist school there and a vintage festival was held. Because the graves are ripe and sweet. And we wanted to meet her and meet her boyfriend. She is 16. :)
Granit and silt and a very mild climate account for the quality of the grape. And the wine.

And the landscape is enchanting!

IS THERE A BLOGGER PROBLELM?
IM TRYING TO UPLOAD SOME PICTURES THE WHOLE EVENING BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!

Yes, it seems so, so I will try tomorrow!
