In Germany's Mosel wine region, the only German city that made onto NYT's 2016 top 52 places to travel to, lies a small picturesque town called Cochem. Calling it picturesque seemed an understatement, it's actually just super pretty in a fairy tale kind of way. It's not exactly well known to the mobs of international tourists yet so the rise of Mosel wine region is still a bit understated thing. That said, older Germans like to come here for trips, and this neat wine bar specializes wine pairing. For a flight of four Rieslings, which is what this wine region is famous for, it is $6. Yeah you heard me right, it's $6. The water did cost more but it's all well worth it. Next time you are in Germany, make a pit stop at Cochem, it's one of the prettiest German towns out there, with the Rhine river running through it, a castle perched up top, and boats running through this old town. I have been to Germany more than half a dozen or so times since the last few years, this city and this wine bar definitely stands out more than most! read more
