This looks like the undercroft to the castle keep, the visible remains of two barrel-vaulted "cellars".

The Royal Dukes

It's probably not the Cavern Club, but the venue does look like it's in a cellar somewhere. Anyone ever hear of the Royal Dukes? (There's an unrelated Texas-based Royal Dukes Band, too.)

Guaranteed to Rid Any Cellar of Rats, Roaches, or Other Creatures

"Guaranteed--to rid any cellar of rats, roaches, or other undesirable creatures. In case of failure to do so as represented, your money cheerfully refunded and no questions asked. September 15th, 1906 A.D."

Addressed to: Miss Olive L. Carpenter, Box #99, Yantic, Connecticut.

Postmarked: Philadelphia, Pa., Sep. 16, 1906.

Judging by a Find A Grave search, the recipient of this real photo postcard was probably Olive L. Carpenter Bullard (1878 - 1917) ("wife of E. E. Bullard"), who is buried in the Yantic Cemetery, Norwich, Connecticut. If so, she would have been 28 years old when she received this postcard in 1906 and only 39 when she died in 1917. I wonder if it was her husband who sent her this card.

For another real photo postcard with a similar "scare away the rats" joke, see Use This to Keep the Mice and Rats Away (below).

One of the private little cellars in Tokaj. Start from dry, and work your way through to sweet, and then to very sweet. Fantastic dessert whites.

And Another Cellar

Who can remember which one was which? They were all pretty special.

The Choice Red

This red stood out. 2006 Egri Vörös Cuveé from cellar number 27. We bought a litre and a half which was siphoned in to our empty plastic bottle. We noted the details thinking that would then allow us to find it again, should we be looking in a bottle shop. What was that grape variety? Vörös? Forget it. This is a one off! Egri = Eger. Vörös = Red. Cuveé = Mix. We were drinking Cellar 27's Eger Red Blend from 2006. If anyone should desire to try and recreate it for us, the principal varieties are Cabernet, Kékfrankos (Blue French), Melot, and there is some Pinot Noir.

Another Atmospheric Cellar

Each cellar has its own character, but few lack charm and atmosphere. Naturally, they are relatively chilly when it is in the high 20's outside, but they are delightful places to be, and very appropriate places to while away an afternoon with a glass of good stuff. Not too sure about the traditional Eger food accompaniment of bread with turkey fat, onion, and paprika.

Against The Trend

Although Eger is known for its red wines, we revisited this cellar a number of times because of its magnificent Chardonnay. Cellar number 19 if anyone else ever tries to find this wonderful nectar of the gods. The 2005 was possibly one of the best white wines I have ever drunk. It was a little pricier than the other wines, at a staggering $1 per glass, but our budget does stretch that far.

Medieval Ruins Under Tesco, Spalena, Nove Mesto, Prague, CZ, 2011

Although Prague has had some human occupants for 250,000 years, and has been a city since about 880 C.E., the Nove Mesto, or New Town, only dates to the 14th Century. Nevertheless, even the New Town has layers of ruins under the streets, as you can see in this construction site on Spalena, behind Tesco's.
