The wine tastes even better with ‘munkel’!
When Christoph Lösch hosts the popular ‘Munkel wine tasting’, it’s not about spreading rumours – that’s the real meaning of the word ‘munkeln’. Instead, it’s about enjoying delicious Rhine-Hessian tapas with eight different wines. ‘Munkel’ is a Rhine-Hessian word and means a little something to eat. When it comes to wine events, the master winemaker from Worms is very creative: ‘Tischlein-Deck-Dich’ (‘The Wishing-Table’) in the vineyard. He offers a stroll through 2000 years of wine history in historic Worms. Besides visitors can enjoy a ‘walking wine tasting’ along the vines in the vineyard or a herb hike through the vineyards. Christoph Lösch never runs out of ideas. ‘People should smell, see and taste the landscape and the wine!’ is his message.
