Naturally, we’ve been using these social platforms for quite some time. If you’d like to know what we’re up to or learn something about our everyday routine or discover the current state of affairs in the vineyards or find out about special offers and events, then follow us via Facebook, Twitter or google+. Particularly on Facebook you’ll find news updates about us, our estate, and all things related almost on a daily basis.

 

In April, we celebrated the first anniversary of our Weinbar in Wiesbaden. And the celebration continues. Gerolsteiner Brunnen, one of Germany’s leading producers of mineral water, has created a list of twelve “WeinPlaces” located throughout Germany and we’re on the list.

 

What defines a WeinPlace?

 

Gerolsteiner describes a WeinPlace as follows:

 

“WeinPlaces are lively venues in which wine is the focal point...wine shops, wine bars or wine lounges...places where wine can be enjoyed and where both wine novices and connoisseurs feel comfortable. WeinPlaces are marked not only by their focus on wine, but also by restaurateurs and sommeliers who skillfully present wine and share their knowledge of and enthusiasm for wine with their customers...wine personalities with passion stand for exciting wine selections, professional service, fair prices, and perceptive advice. In all, a WeinPlace offers a compelling and pleasurable wine experience.”

 

In all honesty, I am a bit proud of this honor. Not least because it was awarded by a high-caliber jury. And the company we’re keeping is nothing to sniff at...
