Rheinhessen is a relatively small area, sometimes called the land of a thousand hills, nestled between the Rhine and the Nahe. When Charlemagne was the decision of the sprit of Rheinhessen wines were well known. Of the thirteenGermany Rheinhessen wine region has the largest area planted to wine grapes and wine production more important. In fact, he is responsible for more than a quarter of the surface of German wine and wine production. Rheinhessen produces the highest percentage of quality table wine generally low, almost 12%. Over 60% of Rheinhessen wine is middle quality QbA wine, and QMP just over 25% higher quality wines. About 87% of its wine is white, but the percentage of red wine on the rise.Most cultivars are hybrids German Müller-Thurgau and Silvaner.

Worms is one of the oldest cities in Germany. The original regulation was probably about six thousand years. The Celts founded the city has long worms, with Cologne and Trier claims to be the oldest city in Germany. It was an important sitefor the classic poem The Nibelungenlied (Song of the Nibelungs) by Richard Wagner, who becomes an opera classic.
Opera lovers and history buffs will have to see the Museum of the Nibelungs, enough located in two medieval towers with an excellent view of the old city. Be sure to see the gothic St. Peter Wormser Dom (Cathedral of San Pedro). This building was severely damaged by fire during the war near the end of the seventeenth century.

For decades, Americans and Britons think a number of German excellence Liebfraumilch pair of white wines. Many of them were introduced to wine by alcohol sweet wine, produced mainly low in Rheinhessen and Pfalz. This wine is made for export, Germans almost never drink. However, the city of Worms, with a population of about 85,000 souls, is a center of German wine industry.

Bihn Liebfraumilch 2005, alcohol 9.7% to about $ 7.50
Let us begin by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Notes Pale straw color, with floral aromas and flavors of green apple with hints of spice, medium dry and very smooth
Serving suggestion brunch and buffet lunch, salmon mousse, quiche.
My first match was accompanied by a salad of spinach, tomatoes,feta cheese and olives in California. The wine is slightly fruity (Appley) and pleasant but weak and short.
The tasting involved with cold chicken grilled with a salad of cucumber and onion and potatoes. Again, the wine is light and fruity, but this time the average length. Cut the fat as well.
The last meal consisted of a broccoli cheese quiche olive and Parmesan (baked with the quiche, not added later). The wine was light, refreshing and slightly sweet.This weakness is not incompatible with the salt of the quiche. I finished the glass with a cheapo chocolate ice cream sandwich. Wine has become a bit soft.
The initial cheese pairing was with a French goat cheese that really resembled a Camembert cheese. The fruity and slightly sweet wine. Then tried the Liebfraumilch with Swiss cheese. The wine became more rounded and slightly more acidic. OK.
final verdict. This Liebfraumilch never added anything to the food is simplyprovided that does not mean tasteless liquid for washing food. If it's good enough for you, then it is a bargain, despite a somewhat dubious past. the wine is lost in certain foods every day. And I can not afford good wine all the time. Sometimes it will be more or less Liebfraumilch complete the bill. I will buy again. But I'll be careful when and where I serve.
