On Saturday in the small town of St. Goar there was a wine festival and fireworks over the Rhein. Nothing like tasting some amazing wines from the region and then watching an hour long firework spectacle over the largest river in Germany. The best part about the fireworks is that they had three locations, a castle in St. Goar, a barge and then in the town across the river, St. Goarhausen, there was another castle that set off fireworks.
One of my favorite wines so far has been the Federweisser, which in english means White Feather. This is a wine that is not fully done fermenting. The wineries use grapes that can't be used for their top quality wines, and then make this wine, selling it while it is still fermenting with yeast floating around, hence the white feather. It's really tasty, tasting like lemonade on the first day you drink it and getting stronger every day after it has been opened.
In this video you can see the outline of the castle in St. Goarhausen on the hill above the Rhein.
