Some people think so haha!

I feel like wine should count.

So do I!
I always like to drink wine - and to talk about wine

Let's talk about my favorites.

I have got lots of favourites.

To name just two:
White: Gewürztraminer
Red: Schwarzriesling (Pinot Meunier)

Since you are from Germany, you may appreciate this. One of my other favorites are both the red and white Neuer Wein varietals. My favorite was the new white with some Zwiebelkuchen.

Also, in the US, Gewürztraminer is largely unappreciated, except for a bit of a blip of popularity in the late 80's / early 90's. I think it's largely misunderstood here, almost like a red grape trying to pass itself off as a white. I don't have enough experience with the varietal that actually comes from the Alsace region, but my observation is with the California-borne varieties, the nose can be overwhelming for some. I would not pass up trying some with foie gras though.

Pinot Meunier, I have no experience with but sure would love to try. Snack Fora needs a wine exchange.

Yes, I appreciate this! Lots of Germans do not know about this or do not like it. They just do not know what's good!

Gewürztraminer may be made in various kinds. From very try to very sweet.
And every variety should have this in common: The pleasant aroma of roses.

I definitely feel like it's a tourist thing.
I have eaten SO MUCH Zwiebelkuchen and drank SO MUCH new wine it's not even funny. Except for the part where I have to walk back to my hotel.

We have it at home as well.
You can buy the "Federweißer" and the "Zwiebelkuchen" in all kinds of shops and bakeries here - when it is in seaon.

 

[Joe cool]

Absolutely!

well that settles it then.
time to open a box of the good stuff.
