Schloss Gobelsburg

The destination winery was Schloss Gobelsburg ( http://www.gobelsburg.com/index.html ) located in Niederosterreich, Austry. I visited there to see Ms. Yukari Iwashiro, a wine journalist, living in the castle which combined Baroque and Renaissance styles has been since 1100s. If you wish, you can have a wedding ceremony here! I tasted many kinds of Austria wines mainly Gruner Veltliner and reisling. Having a private lesson by Ms. Iwashiro was great experience.
 
This winery, Schloss Gobelsburg (Schloss means Castle) imports their wines to the UK, mainly BBR, Fortnum and Mason or other shops. If you can visit the winery, you can taste an inexpensive bottle, Gruner Veltliner, from EUR6.00 per 75 cl.

Fortunately, I could meet the head of Schloss Gobelsburg, Michael. Amphorae used by Celts and contemporary arts have been collected and decorated by Sir Michael in the cave.

Thank you for your reading to the end.
