Ok, I'll let you in on a secret. Vienna and Austria has amazing wine... you just never get it in the US because the Austrians literally drink almost all of it. It's that time of the year where people are trying to enjoy those last few days of the summer sun and good weather before it disappears. The Wieners come out to these wine heurigers, which is like a garden where you sit a picnic table and they bring you wine in pitchers. They are located on the outskirts of the city, and you can see the vinyards on the hill above the city. You see the locals out to try the year's wine, sit outside, and enjoy each other's company. In fact, it's a fairly pleasant way to spend the evening.
Enter a the Americans. Well, we probably didn't ruin anyone's night, but I would say the garden got a louder. However, a good time was had by all, and it was a great experience to try the local wine.
Tip: Try the Viennese Wine. I hear it's Vienna's best kept secret.
