Weinfest 2011
All summer long in Germany someone, somewhere is having a Weinfest. We are bringing that tradition here so join us for good food and good wine!
The Germans have a long tradition of winemaking with history going back to Roman times. No less a figure than Charlemagne is supposedly responsible for founding the Rheingau wine-growing region and the longest continuous planting of Riesling in the world is in the Mosel river valley.
Our menu this year will include red wine marinated beef ka-bob, organic veal chops, mussels in wine broth, mushroom crepes, Onion and potato pizza and wine poached pears. Add a glass of wine and there's no better way to spend a summer evening!

We look forward to seeing you at Weinfest! In addition to the great food, we will feature wine samples, wine flights, and wine related prizes. It's a celebration of wine! Each day of Weinfest we will have a different feature or event. It's a great chance to try something new or learn something about wine!
