Wine Majesties have a long tradition in Germany. Basically all wine villages, wine regions and the country as a whole have wine queens and wine princesses. Of course, the crème de la crème are the national wine majesties, the German Wine Queen and the two German Wine Princesses.
One of the two reigning German Wine Princesses, Sabine Wagner, came to the US for an East Coast Tour (Northern Virginia, Philadelphia and Washington DC) with a series of 6 events between June 25 and June 30, 2014. The trip was organized by Annette Schiller (Ombiasy PR and WineTours) and supported by the German Wine Institute (Mainz, Germany) and the German Wine Society (Washington DC Chapter).
I have already provided an overview about the East Coast Tour of German Wine Princess Sabine Wagner. This posting focuses on one special event, the German Wine Pairing event at 2941 Restaurant, one of the top restaurants in Virginia, with wines from Dr. Loosen, Doennhoff, Schnaitmann, Becker and Kruger-Rumpf. We were a group of 30 German wine lovers.
US East Coast Tour of German Wine Princess Sabine Wagner
Annette Schiller: This was a fabulous week for German wine. Many of you participated in one or several of the events with Sabine Wagner, the reigning German wine princess. Sent by the German Wine Institute as ambassador for German wine she was here to promote German wine. Ombiasy PR and WineTours organized tastings, wine pairing dinners, classes, and a BYOW party at our house. I think we all learned a lot from Sabine’s presentations on German wine in general, on the new classification for German wine, and on the rigorous knowledge competition throughout several years to become the National Ambassador for German wine. Sabine showed us wines from entry level to ultra-premium level, and from bone dry to sweet. It was a showcase of what serious German winemakers are capable of producing.

Chef Bertrand Chemel will surprise us with a fantastic menu matching the wines selected. Bertrand Chemel is an extraordinary chef and I am very sure that he would have earned a Michelin-star if there would be a Michelin guide for this area.
