Memories of pre-corona dinners at @noblesavage_restaurant. This was the time @iggycooks cooked with @dkrivoshap - what a stunning Japanese inspired menu they made! ❤️ Now they're back in business, with all the post-lockdown measures in place and a great menu lined up too. Book your table at noblesavage.at! 53 1
One of my favourite things since lockdown ended in Vienna? Ice cream from @eisgreissler, accompanied by long walks, of course! 🍦 58 2
You know those weeks when every day is just perfect and getting so much done gives you an incredible burst of energy and makes you feel not only proud of yourself, but also incredibly ecstatic, smiling from ear to ear and wanting to literally jump with joy? Those weeks when every single day, everything falls into place, as if the universe focuses solely on making you happy! That was last week for me. And it deserved to be celebrated accordingly, with a stunning brut nature from @fritz_salomon_go that I captured at @vinifero_naturweine on my Saturday stroll through post-quarantine buzzing Vienna. I also realised that this is my 1000th post, and thought that sharing this beautiful bottle would celebrate that too. Thanks for sticking with me through a thousand posts, thousands of words, ups and downs, gourmet stories, restaurant visits and culinary adventures of all kinds. ❤️ Your Ioana 36 0
Fine dining at home really doesn't have to be that complicated! 👉 Sourdough brioche doughnut balls, served with a sweet leek custard, borage, carnation and thyme flowers - all from my rooftop terrace. Thank you @mihai.iosif.toader for the inspiration - if you're not following him and his amazing project @fragmente1 you should straight away - and thank you @chef_dragos_radu for the brioche tips! ❤️ #finediningathome #finefood #platingideas #platinginspiration #spurdough #brioche #perfectcircles #springflowers #edibleflowers #leek #grateplates #chefsroll #chefstable #chefsplateform 97 6
Today I visited Enrico at @vinifero_naturweine to stock up on natural wine. I realised that one of the thing that makes me sad these days, despite being able to go out and meet with friends is the fact that I cannot see the smiles of the amazing people working hard to provide us with amazing wines, delicious food, coffee, cocktails and the like, because of the masks that we all need to wear these days. Therefore, I wanted to say an enormous thank you to all those of you working in the service industry. And to Enrico for his fabulous wines! ❤️ You are constantly bringing smiles to our faces! 47 0
Wild boar stew with a delicious sauce flavoured with black cardamom, dried strawberries and red wine. Served atop a buckwheat risotto. Throwback to my culinary adventures back when quarantine started and it was still chilly enough to enjoy a heartwarming stew. ❤️ #finediningathome #gulasch #wildboar #wildgame #stew #homemadefood #mealoftheday #deliciousfood #BerriesandSpice #foodphotography #foodinthetimesofcorona #foodblogger 35 0

Natural Wine – Tales of grapes, juice and fermentation

I am told that once you start drinking natural wine, you can’t go back to conventional wines. These articles put an emphasis on understanding what natural wine is. You will find stories, facts, and interviews with famous wine makers; you will discover what natural, organic, biodynamic wines are; you will learn about the ‘low intervention’ wine making methods. And, you will also get to find out more about the history of wine. This series aims to help readers understand and appreciate the real value of natural wines beyond current trends.
 
It is clear that low intervention wine is a trend at the moment. But, more often than not, wine makers who make their wines naturally, will tell you the contrary. They will say that natural wine should not be a trend, but a philosophy. That winemakers have been producing wine naturally since the dawn of this practice. Are you intrigued and curious?
