We had a really nice evening with my “parents-in-law”. My “father-in-law” is a superb cook and prepared mussels in white wine like we had them in Paris, Venice and at the Caffè Latte. But they were much better! :-) I don’t think that any restaurant in Paris can beat that. Seriously!

After dinner, we enjoyed the rest of the evening in the wine cellar. :-)

Stammersdorfer Weintage 2008

Yeah, we managed to visit two of the three events held each year at Stammersdorf. First one was the Mailüfterl and today were the “Stammersdorfer Weintage” (”wine days”). The third and last event will be in October, the “Stürmische Tage”.

This girl - she used an analog Nikon camera - was smoking at the table next to mine.

Flowbrothers: We love the green veltleen

Do you remember Lee and Ina? I talked about them three months ago in my Kaizers Orchestra concert post.

Flowbrothers party

Today we were invited to a Flowbrothers party which is normally held once a year. The Flowbrothers are a clique of people who call themselves Flowbrothers. I don’t know all the facts and reasons behind that but I think it’s a cool name, and that’s enough for me. ;-)

Lee - the Flowminister

Lee The Flowbrother

Lee is one of those “Flowbrothers”.  He invited me several times before to one of those famous parties but I never got took the time to join their party. This time we made it. :-)

Thanks a lot for the invitation and especially for the green veltleen ;-) and the great, great snacks and cakes.

Party on! :-)

Happy Birthday Mr. ZZZ

Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you,
happy birthday Mr. ZZZ,
happy birthday to you!

happy birthday to me

My sweetheart invited me to one of our favourite restaurants (Cafè Latte) to celebrate my birthday. We had champagne, mussels, white wine, cocktails and a delicious dessert. Thanks my love, it was a great evening! :-)

But we still have to find a restaurant in Vienna where the mussels are as delicious as in France and Italy. We are a bit fastidious since our trip to Paris on New Year’s Eve and our trip to Venice on Valentine’s Day. ;-)

The best thing is that the birthday boy eats for free. :-) Appetizer, main course and dessert, it’s all free. You just have to show them your ID card to proof your birthday and that’s it. And there’s no limit regarding the price of the dishes. You can choose ANYTHING. I took the most expensive things. Of course. ;-)

Brunch at Caffè Latte Vienna

After the bad mood yesterday we decided to enjoy the holiday (Corpus Christi) by having brunch at the Caffè Latte in the Neubaugasse (Vienna).

Brunch at Caffè Latte

The Chardonnay (late vintage) from the winery Sattler is such a great wine, we had to order a second bottle! :-)
