Yippee, we finalised the Austrian trip. I'm going to Austria to learn more about their wines. It's going to be a fantastic trip - I'll bet.
It's my first trip to Europe, and it's to the classical music capital of the world. A place where beautiful symphonies were created. And also a place that's has a strong German influence, in terms of its food and wine culture. I'm just so excited.
I started reading up on Austria and it's food and wine culture this morning, visited the library and borrowed books and a DVD by Jancis Robinson (of BBC), trying to soak up everything I can about Austria, got a book on German cuisine, which came up as a very easy read (but not so easy to carry).
Based on the Itinerary, we'll be going to 13 Wineries...like wow. How fantastic can it get?
Travelling from Vienna, down to the famous regions of the Wachau, Burgenland and even Südsteiermark (which is less well known).
It's a chance to have such serious tasting sessions with the people who actually made the wine. What a great opportunity this is.

Austria is becoming an increasingly important wine-producing country in central Europe with an annual production of about 30 million cases, 30% more than Germany.
