Well that's a first, a German wine festival. Now all I know about white wine is that I like it slightly dry and definitely not sweet, so I'm knackered when it comes to a choice of twenty or so from the same wine producer which is what this particular village/festival was all about. First problem is to find out what trocken, feinherb,fruchtig and schoppenwein mean and I'm in business. For the record its the Schwaab family wine and the village of Erden and I like the 2012 Erdener Herrenberg Riesling Kabinett apparently, according to my friendly festival barman . Very nice it is too.
A pork schnitzel, onions and fried potatoes for 5 euros and I'm sorted.
The Main Street of the village was all set out with a good two dozen food and wine stalls, a couple of brass bands and other live music so a good night out. No trouble and everyone on best behaviour. Pity about the occasional rain and persistent drizzle.
