Blogue d'un québécois expatrié en Angleterre. Comme toute forme d'autobiographie est constituée d'une large part de fiction, j'ai décidé de nommer le blogue Vraie Fiction.

Nannerl (the Schnapps?)
I took this picture during our holiday in Vienna, in one of the many souvenir shops the city has. I used to say that Mozart is everywhere there, but it's also true of his whole family. And it is true of his sister Maria Anna Mozart, better known to the world as Nannerl, her pet name. So she has a schnapps named after her. I guess they were running out of chocolate flavours. Anyway, I tried plenty of beers during our time there, no local wine (to my great shame) and no schnapps. Maybe I should have tried this one, given my love for her brother's music. And side note: I'm wondering what she would think of having her face and name used to brand a drink. And next to an Empress, no less.
