Fantastic visit!

Mr & I joined the sparkling wine tour at Rotkäppchen-Mumm Sektkellereien…read more Knowing ahead of time they did not offer tours in other languages than German, Mr translated for me & since I was familiar with the wine-making process, it was nice to see their barrel rooms and hear their history (albeit secondhand) The building and prep areas were extremely hot & we learned that the building itself did not used to have a roof but after many bottles exploded from Also interesting to see the largest wine barrel n Germany and it was quite impressive to see how pristine the barrel carvings were, even after all this time Their wines leaned more towards the dry variety and at the end of the tour, we enjoyed a couple of glasses of different blends. The tour guide tried telling us our glasses were the same wine but they definitely were not as the color and tastes were very different So we unfortunately did not get to purchase a bottle of this but did walk out with a bottle of the Rose. Worth a stop and very interesting history!

Crazy orange interior, with that sort of Euro-Pop Disco being played over the sound system, mostly…read moresung in English. I went here twice in the three days I was in Germany. The first time was to check out their beer selection. I didn't think it was too happening. They had a wheat beer, Kostritzer black lager, and a Pilsner. Could use some more variety. I had flown in the first day, so after I had a schnitzel, I came here to have one beer before heading back to my hotel. The second time I came was two nights later; I was watching the German soccer team playing Nigeria in the Olympics in my hotel room and decided to hoof it down to watch it with other German people. Should be plenty of people watching it, right, in a sports bar with like 6 TVs? Nope. There were maybe 6 other people in the bar, a few outside, but they didn't even have the game on. The bartender checked a book he had but said the game I was just watching could not be on. (The next day they played highlights of that game on the news as I stood in the airport) When I walked into the bar on the second night, there was a guy there wearing a black White Sox hat. I asked him, in German, "Are you a White Sox fan?" and pointed to my head. He smiled and said "no." I said, "I am. I'm from Chicago."
