Some tours also may be booked out of major hotels. You need only drop by for a snack. Or you can spend the afternoon basking in the sun and conversation.

It's perhaps best if you can take your picnic to Austria. But should that prove difficult, a backyard picnic table is a reasonable substitute. Just don't forget to serve the wine in mugs.

tl By KM UPTON. Timet Staff Writer This is a two-girl wine," the mayor of Gumpoldskirchen, Austria, was saying, as we sipped a crisp little Gruner VeMner. What the mayor meant was that the wine we were sampling was so exceptional that it would attract two girls, rather than just the usual allotment of one. No doubt about it, the two-girl wine was a wine of distinction. But this was a drink for a moderately serious occasion, as the wine tasting the mayor was hosting had turned out to be.

Under ordinary circumstances, the entertainment would have seemed extraordinary, but the October day was beckoning. And we were missing the best reason for wandering the vineyards: to smell the clean, herbed air; to see the countryside dappled with the weakening fall sun and to sip the spritsy, raw new wine of the harvest while laughing with friends and attacking at a table littered with cold roast goose, smoked ham, salami, cheese, freshly baked bread and salad. As the day slipped into late afternoon and the sun struggled for survival, we tasted the fruit and the joys of the earth. And they were excellent We had been lured to this heurigen, a private wine tavern standing guard over vineyards, by a leafy garland hanging above the door. At harvest time, usually for a few weeks in October, the green boughs signal the arrival of the new wine.

The adjective hewig means, literally, "of this year." Similar to the celebrated fall arrival of Nouveau Boujokto, enjoying the new Austrian wine has more to do with participation in an event than with exquisite flavor. It is a tradition begun in 1784 when Emperor Joseph II ruled that vintners in suburban Vienna could sell their own wine on their doorsteps.

But by law, the traditional heurigen has a limited menu.

Often there is a fireplace and a garden in which to spend a sunny day.

Sometimes there are a few musicians playing the accordion, the violin, the guitar, the sither. Sometimes there is singing.

The wine is usually drunk courageously from quarter liter mugs. In the evenings the taverns fill with Viennese searching for a spot free of tourists in which to sample a light evening supper.

This light refreshment follows a day of as many as six meals and snacks, including a large midday meal and I I CSDAM PANIC MN LAJUSSf MM SONMTA YIXAOC (CONOO) THE DEST OF THE DAJA $238 MsSmisiBtsd Travel csta TotorSf InCa lew mrnoam mm mm- OM of iem (00) SS4-0S7f M714 XM-4034 MM I3TEL CCU2L1 sn Mr HS. n'g'iei "aswww sssjjsy, weu vnBt WVASSOT aVawM wwH HaitiaiiMMmMfiWi MoMaMsjflfcattmaV9ttlB CALL FC3 CZTJULS "Fhfctai ftotafii MilsMi" (-HAWAII' csso (1191 070 (COO) 023-0310 VALID 09AS 1M5M 2Ntt 7Ntt Aston Hawaiian Monarch $299 399 Aston bm on the Park 299 409 Honolulu 391 542 403 573 409 629 439 690 Aston Maui Park Aston Maui Lu Hotel Aston Kauai Resort Aston Pono Kai Maui Kauai Kona Aston Kona Islander Inn 375509 Aston Royal Sea Cliff 453 743 INCLUDES CTaltoftmtoAMtevtaidMduMariliMi Nhmmmmmito7NmmyimpmMmJ i HrkaVIVwfa iMStUtSSmmn gAlrf imtd ea TUWETH dprtuim (213) 854-8500 (818)719-8000 (800)252-0100 (800)832-1188 HTC HAWAB TOUBISM CONSULTANTS JtB.wlMfjaalM. itU rummm.
