After lunch, went to the Mosel River to see a recreation of a Roman Wine Barge. The region was settled by the Romans over 2000 years ago who introduced grapes to the area. Leiwen is the 2nd largest wine producer on the Mosel with over 3 billion grape vines.
We returned to Michael's home where Petra served two outstanding desserts. James asked Petra to marry him!! After the desssert, Alfons held a wine tasting (wineprobe) for all. We tried 11 wines from dry to sweet. The wine was fantastic. Jamie was helping Petra cook dinner. Jamie had a great time and I think Petra really enjoyed having a girl help out in the kitchen.
We ate grilled pork cutlet or grilled pork cutlet wrapped in bacon, salad, baked potato (kartoffel), tomato/mozaralla salad, bread (brot). IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!! and of course Stoffel Wine!! and a cremefreche dessert with grapes.
We departed full of food, wine and memories of a great day. Kim drove :))) We look forward to many more happy memories with the Stoffel Family.
