I know and like Grüner Veltliner (with a real Wiener Schnitzel, for example) wines but never thought they could be so buttery and caramel-ly like this. Apropos: I loved the dish, especially the pumpkin, but the scallop didn’t really add anything to the whole and gave the impression that it was there just for the sake of luxury. This was a combination that didn’t have to be. Another dish which was very risky was the “tafelspitz” with foie gras and porcini risotto, which most of us loved but M. hated. The “arabic” pigeon with poppy seed salad was another course in the big menu which we were all not very crazy about. We felt the “arabic” came too short, there weren’t any pronounced spices in this dish.
