This is a small restaurant, recently opened in a wine shop a couple of yards away from our flat.
We had dinner there on the last evening of Mrs. Steve's and Steve's holidays here with us last week.
It wasn't only incidently Mrs. Walter's birthday but a winetasting of Nahe wines as well.
Quote:The Nahe region is named after the river that traverses the valleys of the forested Hunsrück Hills as it gently flows toward Bingen on the Rhine. It is a peaceful landscape of vineyards, orchards and meadows interspersed with cliffs and striking geological formations. Although the Nahe is one of the smaller German wine regions, its extraordinary range of soil types is second to none. For this reason, the region is able to produce quite diverse wines from relatively few grape varieties. The steeper sites of volcanic or weathered stone, and those with red, clayish slate seem predestined for elegant, piquant Riesilng wines of great finesse and a light spiciness, while flatter sites of loam, loess and sandy soils yield lighter, fragrant Müller-Thurgau (Rivaner) wines with a flowery note. The Silvaner grape thrives in a number of soils and produces full-bodied, earthy wines.
Since the actual winetasting took place in another room, the
winegrower came (frequently) to our table ...
