Vienna

After a nine hour flight from Dallas to London, we almost missed our connecting flight to Vienna…Bad News Bears. For those of you who haven’t been to Heathrow Airport, consider yourself lucky. Let’s just say it isn’t the most efficient of places. Once we finally got through security, our group was practically running to our next gate to make it. We made it, and two hours later, we were in Vienna. And lo, and behold, when we stepped off the plane, what did we see? Fate staring at us right in the face. We captured it on film for you…

We got to our hotel – a wonderful, modern building – as it began to snow. Our first dinner here was a nice buffet…but our favorite part was the wine list. In both German and English, it had the most tantalizing descriptions of wine either of us had ever read. We will leave you with our favorite: Beerenauslese 2006 – “Opulent sweetness dances with refreshing acid on the palate and the finish displays discreet nuances of citrus and orange.”

May your dreams be filled with “opulent sweetness” and zesty, refreshing nuances.
