we over-sampled the local wine


We are in South Styria which is a truly lovely part of Austria. The hotel is fabulous and has lots of local wine.

We have a bar fridge with 6 bottles of wine and there is a wine cabinet in the hallway in case people get thirsty.

Last night we went to Abels which as almost impossible to find – but well worth the visit. I had my first ever meal of pheasant.

When we got back to the hotel we sat in the lobby and read the newspapers on our iPads – whilst sampling some fine Sauvignon Blanc from Tscheppe.

Unfortunately we over-sampled – in spades – so were practically useless today and just loafed about.

But we are right in the middle of the wine growing district so have big plans for tomorrow.
