Attendees at the Austro-Hungarian wine seminar held at the residence of the Austrian Ambassador on Tuesday, October 12, 2010, were served a buffet lunch at the end of the seminar. The lunch was sponsored by the Esterhazy family of Hungary and the menu was devised by the winery’s chef who was flown in to London specifically for the event. Lunch was served in the Empress Maria Theresia Room of the Ambassador’s residence.

How was the Heidi Schröck Ausbruch?
ReplyDeleteI did not taste the '06 at lunch. The 07 was 12% alcohol, 228 g/l of residual sugar and total acidity of 8 g/l. Strong hints of quince; not as balanced as the Tokaji with which it was contrasted but long finish. It was very good. She is a very personable woman as she came over during lunch and sat with me and conversed at length.
