Another new 'Black 47' movie trailer released, which was partly shot on our location. Pretty exciting.

Those and Rieslings didn’t last long at Schengen ~ Mondorf-les-Bains Rotary lunch.
Tasting notes: delicious, and surprisingly different than Moselle Rieslings.

A nice ending to a lovely spring monday. Sunset, 25C degrees throughout a perfect weekend, looks like summer is near.
Time to fix some stuff around the property... there’s always work, something always breaks in a 400yr place. But not now... time for a “Patt Miseler Wäin” to wrap up the day ;)

Hike up to Felsberg, one of the best vineyards in our valley right behind Château de Wintrange and Domaine Viticole Schumacher-Knepper. Only 700ish steps up to overlook Luxembourg’s Schengen commune, France and Germany.
Dad used to joke with translating ‘Fels Berg’ to ‘Rocky Mountain’ of Luxembourg. True enough.

After the rain comes sun, and everything is blooming in the neighbouring vineyards, our vegetable garden and orchard. Time to get to work, busy little bees.

Best quote on this interpretation of The Hand of Bob, by Leonard da Pinchi, gets a big high five by one of these hands in this picture.

Ever wondered how bay leaves grow? On a bay tree! Here’s some baby bay leaves in our greenhouse. It’s outgrowing its space by now, so we’ll transplant it into the garden beds. Freshly picked bay leaves give an amazing fragrance.

Climbing a tree in our garden on a rainy day. Maybe not the most exciting thing to watch, but probably darn exhilarating for that snail reaching new heights.

Thirsty? Here’s 50Liters / 13.2 gallons of pure strawberry schnapps (Fraise), distilled in 1941. Probably still decent, since it’s cask strength. I used to love looking at this monster bottle as a kid, and was never allowed to come too close, not to disturb it or accidentally tip it over. It’s one of those historical objects our grandfather crafted from a huge batch of our orchard’s overly ripe strawberries. It just sits there, a constant, waiting for who knows what.

A nice find from 1942 in our wine cellar: Grandpa Nick distilled some lovely ‘Schnapps’ (Or “Drëpp” in Luxembourgish) from our orchard’s fruit. Mirabelle, Peach, Strawberry, Plum, Pear and anything ripe and delicious. This bottle dates from 1942, and as glass bottles were a hot commodity in the 2nd World War, any bottle was used. Usually Pernod, Gordon’s Gin or any other used liquor or apéritif bottle.
