A wine cooler at Frankfurt Airport
We left Germany in style, will say, we had a bottle of German Riesling while waiting for our plane to Bangkok.
A bottle of ‘2010 Frankhof Weinkontor Riesling’ was my choice. I had never heard of this producer.
Later I found out that it belongs to the Steigenberger Hotel chain. In 1873 a wine cellar was founded in the basement of the Frankfurter Hof hotel. Albert Steigenberger bought the place in 1940 and made it his flagship hotel.
2010 Frankhof Weinkontor Riesling
The wine is a good specimen representing German Riesling quite nicely. It is nothing special though, just a good Riesling, fresh and full of lemon flavours, in short the way I like it.
But the fact that we had a good Riesling served in a wine cooler relaxed us somehow. We could conclude our summer holiday in a setting which reminded us about the many great wines we had tasted, the places we had visited and the people we had the great opportunity to meet.
Summer 2011 was wonderful for our family; we had a great time in Canada and Germany.
