Vino in the Valley: Weekend 2

This event is part of the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail’s Vino in the Valley.

This year, we will be collaborating with our good friends, the culinary geniuses at the Stony Run Inn in Kempton, PA! All month long we will be celebrating our region’s German heritage, which is rich in both wine and food.

Passports are available in our Tasting Room! (Cash or check only, please.)

THE FOOD:

Reuben Slider
Our new take on the old classic sandwich! Sauteed pastrami, melted swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut and thousand island dressing create a tapestry of taste between fresh, zesty pieces of rye and pumpernickel bread.

German Beer Cheddar Soup
Need to warm up a little? How about this rich cheddar cheese soup infused with spices and a German Dortmunder (mildly hoppy, pale golden lager). To add softness to the texture, we have stirred in some finely chopped onions and carrots!

THE WINE:

Grüner Veltliner (Silver Medal: Los Angeles, Finger Lakes)
The nose is dominated by fresh cut green apple, with a hint of white pepper and citrus. In the mouth you will feel a little spritz and a medium-bodied wine with a soft finish. The flavors follow the aromas, and the fresh apple and white pepper really come through at the end.

Riesling
This classic German grape produces an aromatic, slightly sweet wine. The bouquet is dominated by apple, pear, and peach. The wine finishes with a hint of sweetness and pairs wonderfully with light dishes.
