A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. We were staying in the Gastehaus Leopold-Janu in Senftenberg just north of Krems about 20 km. The host suggested
we visit Proidl and Nigl there in the town. So we took the long walk down to Nigl and visited their tasting
room. Martin Nigl passed thru & I visited with him for 10 min or so. Martin's Dad was pouring at the tasting
bar. He was quite a hoot and took my needling about not having a Zinfandel in their lineup in good nature.

The Nigl wines are a TerryThiese Slctn and imported by SkurnikWines. I've often tried them and have found
them absolutely first-rate expressions of Austrian and Kremstal wines.
