On the Road with the Grape Guy is a on-going feature that follows me from event to event ... I post my thoughts, feelings and reviews of what happened and what I tasted ... basically it is here that I review the events I attend and the things that thrilled me.
Germany Day 2 saw me in the Hambacher Schloss (Hambacher Castle) for the Best of Riesling competition and driving to the city of Mainz, where the tour of the Rheinhessen begins bright and early on Thursday morning ... but for now, let's take a look at what is going on at the competition and what's for dinner in Mainz.

Plane was delayed two hours in Toronto ... for safety reasons, so I'm okay with that ... which kept my Aussie-cab-sharing companion waiting on the other end (at Frankfurt airport) almost 3 hours. The drive in was a slow one due to an accident and construction work, so it felt like I never left Toronto ... but upon arrival , with little to no sleep I stumble through my first beautiful day in Germany as I await to take part in the Best of Riesling competition taking place tomorrow ... but let's not jump ahead and take a look at what happened on Day 1 ...
