concept
Schloss Johannisberg
also: Шлос-Иоганисберг, Rhenish
A celebrated German Rhine-wine estate; the passenger cites a specific bottling and price to display connoisseurship he does not really possess.
Reading notes
- In the Railway Carriage §7 Schloss Johannisberg, say, No. 85 1/2
A celebrated German Rhine-wine estate; the invented catalogue number and price ('the ten-ruble one') mimic the fussy precision of a real wine list while being essentially meaningless bluster.
