In a highly entertaining and educational tasting, Austrian wine importer/ broker Klaus Wittauer of KWSelection led a tasting about "The Wines of Austria" at the American Wine Society/ John Marshall Chapter in Northern Virginia (President: Douglas Beakes).
We had 10 wines - five whites, including a Sekt, and 5 reds - from all Austrian wine regions (except from Vienna).
Austria 2023 by Ombiasy Public Relations and Wine Tours

Annette Schiller: During this wine tour we discover an often overlooked European wine region and one of the world’s best kept secrets of ultra-premium wine production. We start the tour in Imperial Vienna and will discover that Vienna is not only the breathtakingly beautiful capital of Austria, but also a wine region that is famous for its “Heurige” and “Gemischter Satz” (field blend). We then travel to the easternmost wine region - the Burgenland - where more and more red wine is produced and where the late-ripening “Blaufränkisch” grape is king in some appellations. The southernmost wine region - Styria – is a mountain region. The vineyards in this magnificent, hilly landscape alternate with forests, idyllic orchards, and flower meadows. We finish the tour with a visit to the romantic Lower Austria wine region where we do an in-depth exploration of Austria’s most widespread variety “Grüner Veltliner”.

Gugelhupf
We finished the evening with a homemade Gugelhupf, which is a cake traditionally baked in a distinctive ring pan, popular in Austria but also in other parts of Central Europe, including southern Germany and Alsace. In late Medieval Austria, a Gugelhupf was served at major community events such as weddings, and was decorated with flowers, leaves, candles, and seasonal fruits.
Thanks Vengie for making this delicious Gugelhupf for the tasting.
Good Night
