During a special reception for our children, hosted by the Society, we also welcomed St. Nikolaus. After reading a christmas story and singing the Nikolaus song together, St Nikolaus spent some time with all the children and presented each of them them with a small gift. We wish to thank the Austrian Ambassador and his wife for offering their home to host the event. For more photos from the event, please visit the photo gallery. |

Sumptuous, sun-kissed squares, the striking contrast between new and old. Down every street, the sound of music. The imposing and breathtaking Festung. Sitting by a blue lake at evening time. The people: the smiles. Salzburg has something for each of its visitors, something we quickly realised upon our arrival there.
Read how Cathal Tobin-O'Brien, describes his visit to Salzburg during the summer of 2012. Cathal, from CBS High School Clonmel, was a Winner of the 2012 Essay Competition. |

Heuriger is the name used in Austria for young wine ("this years wine") as well as that for a tavern serving that young wine. This can tavern can either be a Buschenschank, a seasonally limited opening of the producers or a gastronomical place run as a Heuriger. Only its own wine is served, and it serves a limited selection of cold food as an evening meal, generally local, homemade products. Many places still provide a selection of small dishes, for example Liptauer spread, various meat or sausage and Semmel (bread roll) dishes or cheese selections. The right of the wine maker (Winzer in Austrian) to serve and sell own wine in his own house without license goes back to a privilege granted by Emperor Joseph II from 1784. (Source: Wikipedia)
The spirit of the Heuriger was celebrated by us last Sunday 22 Sep in Monkstown, Dublin. The atmosphere was lively and the wine and homemade food were great as always.
