Rheingau Wine Festival

After checking in to the Sheraton at the Frankfurt airport, we showered and changed and took the train downtown to look at the Riesling Wine festival.



There were wine stalls from lots of different vineyards lining the pedestrian mall with some food vendors amongst them.


We like dry whites and so we sampled several different ones, and learnt to ask for "Riesling Qualitatswein Trocken" or "Riesling Kabinett Trocken" the latter being a slightly better wine. After sharing several generous pours, we thought some food would be a good idea... Although there were several sorts of pretzels available, we decided on a flat bread sort of pizza... And here was where we had some language misunderstanding... We ordered the mediterrean one ( which according to the board- in English - was chevre cheese, pepperoni and red peppers)


Well apparently pepperoni in Germany are slightly hot peppers not a type of salami - but it was still good. Then we had a really good chilled carrot soup with chopped ginger. Yummy. Then back to the train and our hotel for a good nights sleep before moving on to Budapest.
