Guten Appetit! -------------------------------------------------- Friday Traditional German Dinner Wine Riesling Select a good Riesling wine to go with your meal. Slightly chill it before serving. [Known for their pleasant dryness and intenseness, the best Riesling wines are from Baden, Franken, or the Pfalz regions of Germany. Considered by some to be the "king of white wines," a sparkling Riesling is particularly good with fish dishes, but can be enjoyed with a wide variety of recipes. When the Roman's expanded their empire into Germany about 2000 years ago, they brought the cultivation of grapes and winemaking with them. The first vineyards existed on the left bank of the Rhine, and spread from there to other regions. Monasteries advanced the production of wine in the Middle Ages, and Riesling made its appearance sometime in the early 1400s.] -------------------------------------------------- Mimosa Eggs Ingredients: 10 hard-boiled eggs Instructions: Cut hardboiled eggs in half lengthwise.
