Imported Feral Pig Sausage and Black Pepper Sausage w/ Sauerkraut Spaztle casserole Asparagus Swiss Peasant Bread Bitburg beer And I chose a nice 2005 Auslese Riesling. It was quite good. And a BYF 98K and an Erfurt Luger. And yes I made all from scratch.

you picked a fine - and often underestimated - wine. Might I recommend a Fetzer Vineyard Riesling, the next time you get a craving for a wine from such a grape? You will thank me later. if you must go German, look for Schlinckhaus. Sincerely, your local domestic wine connoisseur. |
I was torn between taking the pic of the whole table or just a plate. There were seven people eating. And only one of them (my brother in law) had any "understanding" of the significance of a dinner pic.

Someone was asking for a wine suggestion the other day and I was suggesting that very wine. I could not for the life of me remember the name. Hell, I always bought the "wine in the blue bottle" . I am not a big wine fan, but I like a good Riesling. Olive Garden serves a nice Riesling also but again...I don't know the name.10 Sherrick, good job |
+1 Though personally, I rarely use one myself.
+1 But, I'm hungry and in the mood for some history so, I'll bump it back up to 10. (Then, just to be mean, I'm going to lower it to a 3.  )

Well then next time have dinner with your brother in law. Just you and him, a nice dinner and a bottle of wine. Wait a minute.... nevermind  I feel your pain with your friends and family not That doesn't make your score any higher

9.9 That reminds me of the meals my Great Grand Mother used to make. I'm only deducting .1 because I can't hear her describing it in German. My entire family on my Mother's side came over from Germany in 1912 when my Great Grand Mother was 8 years old. She opened a small grocery store in the 1920s after my Great Grand Father was killed. She made her own sausage(all the wursts), kraut and beer. The sausage and kraut she sold. The beer was for family only. She even made beer we could drink as kids. Unfortunately, I only had a few glasses of her adult beer. I've never tasted anything that comes close to her cooking and brewing. I really miss her.  She was an amazing Woman, She ran her store by herself until 1990 and died in 1991 at 87. |
