October Fest Food & Wine

“German Food” & “German Wine”
Our 3^rd Annual October Wine Fest

Sunday, October 23 ^rd.

As there were 7 million folks attending the ‘World’s Largest Fest’ last year, also consumed were 90,000 liters of Wine !

Germany produces wines in many styles: semi-sweet, sweet white wines, rose wines, red wines and sparkling wines and due to the northerly location of German vineyards, the country has produced wines quite unlike any others in Europe, many of outstanding quality !

The white wines and some of the finest from the Riesling grape with many being sweet and low in alcohol, light in color and ‘unoaked’ Dark red wine has always been difficult to produce in the German climate, but recently there has been an increased demand for darker, richer red wines – example: Spatburgunder = German Pinot Noir.

Most places celebrate October Fest with German Beer & Food!
We do it a little differently with “German Wine” & German Food. German Wine is primarily produced in the West of Germany, along the river Rhine and it’s tributaries with some of the oldest plantations going back to the Roman era.

The total wine production is usually around “1.2 billion bottles” which places Germany as the 8^th largest wine producing country in the World and White Wine accounts for almost 2/3 of the total production. Red Wine production surged in the 1990s and early 2000s primarily fuelled by domestic demand and the proportion of German vineyards devoted to the cultivation of ‘dark-skinned’ grape varieties has stabilized at more than a third of the total production !
