It's my first post to @worldmappin. After seeing it's transformed from Pinmapple and listening to talk about it Hive Fest, I was seeing chance to post to it.
Last week, with my family I visited a friend of ours who has vineyard in Selzen, Hessen in Germany. My partner's relatives produce wine in southern Germany and I joined wine harvest ten years ago. It was a relaxed wonderful experience on a sunny autumn day and I wanted to visit our friend's vineyard too for a while. Then it happened finally!
We had lunch with his family with local sparkling wine and white wine. I took a break from being a vegetarian (quite frequent these days 😅) and tried Fleischwurst, a local special sausage. It fit well with the wine. My daughter was also happy with the big fluffy Fleischwurst.
After the lunch, we went up a hill to visit the vineyard. The view from the vineyard was great and even we could see skyscrapers in Frankfurt.
Here, we also had wine. Our friends took a bottle of Federweißer, young wine still fermentation process going on. We took short walk as it was a quite fresh day.
Then we moved to a winery Binzel, where also the grapes from our fiends' vineyard is processed. The size of the machines and tanks were impressive.
The son from the winery offered us young wine of this year and their specialty wine aged in oak barrels. The young one is fresh and ........... the one from the oak barrel was amazing. I'm not a wine professional but I must say it was the most impressive and tastiest red wine I had in my life. It was Spaetburgunder (German name of Pinot Noir) wine with fine oak scent. I ordered two bottles after I came back to home. I couldn't wait for the arrival 😊
In the end of the day, we went dinner to a local restaurant. Of course, we had wine. I chose vegetarian dish but small one of course chose sausage. The wine was made of Silvaner with fresh sweetness like apple. It was sweet but fit well with local dishes. That's the magic of regional food and wine.
That's my first visit to the wine region Selzen in Hessen. I'm happy to visit there anytime again 🍷

初めて @worldmappin に投稿します。PinmappleからWorldmappinになり、その後Hive Festでトークを聞いて、投稿するチャンスをうかがっていました。
先週、家族でドイツのヘッセン州ゼルツェンにワイン畑を持っている友人をたずねました。私のパートナーの親戚が南ドイツでワインを生産していて、10年前にワインの収穫を手伝ったことがあります。晴れた秋の日にリラックスして過ごした素晴らしい経験でした。友人のブドウ畑もいつか訪れたいと思っていましたが、ついに実現しました。
最寄りのマインツのホテルについてピックアップしてもらい、彼の家族と一緒に地元のスパークリングワインと白ワインを楽しみながら昼食をいただきました。ベジタリアンはお休みして(最近多い😅)、はじめて地元の名物ソーセージのフライシュヴルストを食べました。ワインとの相性がよく、子供はふわふわのフライシュヴルストに大満足で無限に食べそうな勢いでした。
昼食の後、丘を登ってブドウ畑を訪れました。ブドウ畑からの景色は素晴らしく、フランクフルトの高層ビルも見えました。
ここでもワインをいただきました。友人がまだ発酵が進行中の若いワイン「フェーダーワイサー」のボトルとグラスを持ってきてくれたのです。
ワイン畑を散歩して、友人がぶどうを加工してもらっているワイナリー Binzel を見学させてもらいました。機械やタンクの大きさは圧巻。
ワイナリーの息子さんが、今年の若いワインと、オーク樽で熟成された彼らのスペシャリティワインをテイスティングさせてくれました。若いワインはフレッシュで、オーク樽で熟成されたワインは人生で一番印象的でおいしい赤ワインでした。ドイツでは「シュペートブルグンダー」と呼ばれているピノ・ノワールのワインで、オークの香りがほんのりと移っていました。帰宅後、いてもたってもいられずワイナリーのウェブサイトをみつけて2本注文しました。到着が待ち遠しいです😊
一日の終わりには近隣の街のレストランで夕食をとりました。もちろん、ワインも。私はベジタリアンを選びましたが、子供はもちろんソーセージ 😁 ワインはシルヴァーナーというぶどうから作られたもので、リンゴのような新鮮な甘さがありました。かなりの甘口で、普段は甘い飲み物を飲みながら食事はしないのですが、地元の料理と合ってびっくり。地域の食とワインのマジックですね。
ヘッセン州のワインの産地、また訪れたいです🍷

What a great day of tasting wine 😊 I don't think I have ever tried young wine, but would for sure do it if I got a chance.
Have a lovely day!
Yes, it was a wine full great day. Young wine is something nice only available in this season and I cannot help buying a bottle this season. I forgot how was it called in Austria but they were into it too. Actually I got to know it when I was staying in Austria 😊
Have a nice autumn day too!
The Fleischwurst looks so good, the Germans does really nice sausages
Yes, I'm living in the sausage (plus beer and bread) country 😁
Lucky you!!! My husband is so envious of that lifestyle 😄
Hihihi we must have Hive Fest in Germany once 😁
