Wine Time

Included in the Easter takeout from Sankt Benedikt, a (non-alcoholic) bottle of PriSecco, from Manufaktur Jörg Geiger.

It tastes good! With strawberry, elderflower and woodruff. The colour fits...

 

...with today's amazing sunset!

For dinner, the main dish of our Easter takeout: fillet of beef, green beans and potato gratin.

Time for dessert! Anise-almond biscuit cake with rhubarb sauce. Very nice combination!

As Old as I!

 Opening and tasting one of my birthday presents.

 

Roger got me a porto wine: Colheita 1974, from Andresen, a Tawny Porto wine. It is...

... as old as I. What can I say? Excellent vintage :-D

Wine Time

Enjoying a bottle of 2018 Viognier Reserve from Krebs.

Nice design on the cork seal.

 

The plan was to get Sankt Benedikt's special Christmas dinner take out and prepare it on the 24th. 

We got it on the 23rd and didn't resist: we prepared it at the same night :-D

 

For dessert: spekulatius and orange.

 

Delicious! And so nice that it was already plated: after getting some take outs from gastronomic restaurants, I have a different appreciation for how much work (and art) it is involved in the process of plating!! Looking forward to be able to enjoy our gastronomic experiences at the restaurant again :-)

Very nice!

 

For dessert, pudding :-)

Oliver Zeter Vineyard

In September, we had a trip scheduled with my sister and nice to visit South Germany - more specific, the Neuschwanstein Castle. With Covid happening, it was not possible anymore for them to come. As I was not able to cancel the hotel reservation, Roger and I decided to go instead and have our first trip pos-Covid. So weird being able to travel again (and a bit scary) but so wonderful too!

In our way to Füssen, we visited the Oliver Zeter Vineyard in Neustadt and bought some wine. It is a lovely place, with fantastic wines, so always worth a visit :-)

 Oliver Zeter Vineyard.

The main building and...

 ... the warehouse with the symbol of the wine: a bear :-)

Time to visit and...

...have some sips before deciding with bottles to buy :-)
