What a fun little winery!…read more Their product is good- and the atmosphere was even better! Also try ( in addition to their wines), the Flammkuchen!! It's like a super light pizza perfect to nibble with your favorite white wines!! Do it! Enjoy!!

As a recommendation from Rick Steves, my friends and I wanted to try this spot for dinner and the…read morefamous wine carousel. Being the southern American girls that we are, we each wanted our own flight. The server told us that one carousel would be enough for whole table, so we decided to listen to his suggestion. For dinner I chose the shrimp and dill flatbread which was delicious and large enough in size that I had leftovers. The 12 wine carousel was indeed large enough for our table and we each found our favorites. One star down for the wait time. While it is customary to have a nice sit down meal in Europe, I did notice other locals seem to have to flag down the waiter several times.

Great place to stop on the Rhine in a small town. The food was good, we ordered the cheese plate…read moreand a soup. The cheeses were great fun to pair with the wines. A wine sampler is a must here as they have a wide range of Riesling and Rose wines. The setting is rather pleasant in a small square with pretty buildings. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well.

A tiny place with crooked walls and narrow rooms that serves excellent white wine from the region. The service was a little matter of fact, but that is neither here nor there. Rooms are candle lit (if I remember correctly) and you can get a sampler tray of wine with hors d'ouevres. Very romantic. Went here with my girl (yes, I got some afterwards!) Did I say it was romantic?

Through the magic of Yelp we found Weinstube Metzinger after a visit to the Ehrenbreitstein…read moreFortress nearby. Touted as a "wine bar" on Yelp we approached the restaurant with visions of young and hip Koblenzers sipping on the latest Rhein-area vintages. What we saw instead was a demographic that was nearing or beyond the age of hip replacements gathered in large boisterous groups, digging into their schnitzels. Granted, we had gone in at the early-bird-special hour, but Weinstube Metzinger was decorated in a way that would appeal to the traditional German grandparent set, complete with plastic pumpkins on the table and homey wooden chairs and tables and brown/orange glazed tiles. None of that pulsating techno music you'd hear at your typical trendy wine bar. If Winestube Metzinger were to have a soundtrack, it would be a happy song played on the accordion accompanied by the sound of tinkling wine glasses and choruses of, "Ja, ist gut!". At about EUR3 for a glass of wine, we could afford to have more than one, and most patrons of the restaurant looked like they have. The restaurant is run by the Metzingers, whose family seal is shown on the front page of their menu. A short "welcome letter" on the first page of the menu tells of the family's commitment to and pride in their restaurant. The menu was in German, and the server apologized for his poor English, while we apologized for our poor German. (The server, probably the son, even apologized for asking if we wanted bread.) Not knowing what to expect, we ordered a small portion of schnitzel in mushroom sauce and two glasses of Riesling, which we were told was the driest whites they had. My halb trocknen (half-dry) Riesling was great while the trocknen was a little too dry for our taste. The HALF portion of schnitzel because two good portions, even after it was divided expertly onto two plates for us. Having had the same dish at Movenpick in Munster several days earlier we couldn't tell the difference in the mushroom sauce, though the schnitzel was prepared differently. The half portion of schnitzel - only EUR7. As the restaurant is small and the kitchen family run with one server working all the tables, some may find the service a little longer than usual. But Weintraube Metzinger is a throwback to the days when a friendly neighborhood restaurant was a home away from home, where the restaurant proprietor welcomed you, like family, and knew your kids names and what they were up to. By the time we left at about 7:30pm the place had filled up with several large groups who all seemed to know our server/owner personally. Not a typical stop for the average American tourist, but a great way to experience Germany and German hospitality if you are in the area.

I can only review a wine tasting we attended in the vineyard itself, hosted by Rüdiger Kröber and…read morehis wife. We learned about the difficulties of horticulture on such steep slopes, the benefits of slate soil and, of course, the effects of bad (wet) weather on the vintage. Harvesting wine under these conditions takes years of experience and passion, which the Kröbers, with the whole family being involved in the business, definitely possess. The wines ranged from a sparkling wine to a sweet (white) wine - or wine from a late harvest, with the basis being the Riesling grape. Mr. Körber is very knowledgeable, and prices range from around €6 for a Rosé wine to €30 and €50 for a sweet and ice wine respectively, with most wines being very reasonably priced. You can order wine online, and book wine tastings at the vineyard (weather permitting) or in the cellars. It's a beautiful part of Germany and I can only recommend visiting, especially in autumn for the harvest festivities.

We stumbled on Weinkommissar late one night after finishing dinner with clients on a Bonn walk…read morestreet. I loved that in spite of the chilly 40 degree temps, patrons were sitting at benches outside with blankets provided by the bar enjoying their drinks. When we arrived it was 10:45 and when we asked as we sat down when they closed, the young bartender told us they closed at 11pm, but would let us know when last call came around. We ordered a couple of lovely German reds and proceeded to enjoy another hour or so of conversation and another glass of wine. Finally at nearly midnight we hear last call. While we didn't partake, we watched the the bartenders putting together lovely plates of charcuterie and cheese with bread. As we'd just had dinner, we just couldn't eat another bite, but it all looked so good. They had a great selection of wines and friendly service.

In a little river town and really the only lively place in the evening with some tourists/biz people (me) and many locals. Just about everyone was very friendly including all the really great bartenders who acted like friends. We were treated like regulars after a couple of late night visits. Some slot machines which actually paid!!! Our destination most evenings. Not really smoky as only allowed in designated areas-like near the slot machines. Not really expensive.
