Wine tour to Linz

This weekend we went for a little trip to see some of the nice surroundings of my hometown. We passed the last remains of the bridge of Remagen to arrive at Linz.

Linz is a typical old German village as tourist imagine whole Germany must look like; I certainly felt like stuck in an old 60´s movie. The local brass ensemble played hits only the elderly can remember, anyway there was a very good reason for me to come here on this lovely sunny Sunday afternoon and this reason was called “Federweißer und Ziebelkuchen” for all you non German speaker I will explain:

Federweißer is a very young wine, very sweet and with still yeast in it. It’s a deadly mixture as it tastes like juice but makes boom at some point ;) most probably to happen 1 hour later when you sit in the sun zipping the last bit out of your glass ready to go but not able to. Ziebelkuchen on the other hand is neither a pie nor a pizza it’s an onion pie and only eatable with enough Federweißer. Lucky me I wasn´t driving…
