Opening Aged Wines from my Cellar in Frankfurt at Mainlust Desche Otto in Schwanheim, Frankfurt, Germany (2024)



 

In the sommer/ autumn of 2024, I spent quite some time in Frankfurt, Germany. Importantly, between Annette's 2024 Germany Rhein-Mosel-Nahe (August 28 – September 06, 2024) and Annette's 2024 Rhône Valley Tour (October 13 - October 23, 2024) I stayed in Frankfurt, Germany, while Annette went back to the USA.

In Frankfurt, our place to go is Mainlust Desche Otto in Frankfurt, Schwanheim, a few blocks away from where we live in Frankfurt. Mainlust Desche Otto is a traditional Frankfurt apple wine tavern. Frankfurt has a large number of traditional apple wine taverns, where you sit on benches, eat hearty local food and drink sour and tart German apple wine. Typically, there is only one apple wine – the house apple wine – available, in some cases made on the premises. The apple wine tavern (Apfelweinwirtschaft) is as distinctive a Frankfurt institution as the Bierkeller is of Munich or the Weinstube of Mainz. Many of the best-known establishments are concentrated in Sachsenhausen, but others are dotted all over the city. They are strongly traditional. They offer hearty local cuisine, usually at moderate prices.

I had done it occasionally before, but this time I brought quite a number of aged wines from my cellar to Mainlust Desche Otto during the summer/ autumn in Frankfurt.
