If there are gods on Olympus, I just found out what they drink

[DFW]

A neighbor who is from Austria just was home visiting relatives, and brought us back a bottle of Wachauaer Marillen Nektar made by the Tastl family in Rohrendorf, Austria.

I have NEVER tasted anything so amazing EVER. If I never have anything else to drink for the rest of my life, I wouldn't care, except that you can't get this stuff anywhere except from the makers. It's a family production. I just wrote to them pleading for them to quote me a price to ship me up a few dozen bottles. I'll pay any price for shipping. If they won't, I may have to plan a trip to Rohrendorf, wherever that is. This stuff is worse than heroin. One sip, and you are hooked.

1. Here is an interesting article about it.

8. The article isn't exaggerating, either

This fruit has a taste twice as intense as even the rouge-orange of southern France of early July.

2. My Deutsch is not the best

hardly at all, actually , but I'm pretty sure this

Produktversand via Paketdienst: Österreich ab 8,00 EUR, Deutschland ab 15,00 EUR, andere Länder auf Anfrage

means "Product shipping via parcel post: Austria 8 euros, Germany 15 euros, other countries upon request" or something like that.

5. I saw that, too

But I don't know if 1.) they only ship in season or 2.) if they ship the nectar bottles, which have to cost more than the bottles themselves.

3. And I have some bad news...

Dear customers,
please understand that we only deliver to Austria, Germany or surcharge within the EU.

Due to legal and bureaucratic hurdles we do not deliver overseas.

6. That's not bad news

I live in Germany now.

4. What you do if possible..........

is if you have connections in Europe, have it shipped to them, and they in turn ship it to you. I don't know if that's possible due to American regulations, but just a thought.

7. No need for that

I now live just outside Düsseldorf. My connection in Europe is me.
