Getestet und für sehr gut befunden. In Kooperation mit dem Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger fand am Montag, 22. Juni ein exklusives Wein-Tasting statt: Bio-Winzer Markus Klumpp stellte erstmals die Weine vor, die der Verein Fine Food Days Cologne in diesem Jahr zu seinen Festivalweinen auserkoren hat. In der 28. Etage der Eventlocation KölnSKY bot sich bei Weiss, Rosé und Rot ein fantastischer Blick über die Stadt, den Rhein und die Domspitzen.
A good view, which the organic vintner Markus Klumpp, who travelled from Kraichgau, also enjoyed. Chief correspondent Joachim Frank guided the evening with readers of the „Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger“. The avowed wine enthusiast spoke with vintner Klumpp about the wines, vines, vintage and making of this special Cologne wine edition. And about whether you actually need a special wine glass for each type of wine. „We use a standard glass at home.“ Nothing more. „It's a bit larger and is suitable for white and rosé wines as well as red wines. We also drink everything that sparkles out of it, by the way,“ said Klumpp.
KölnSKY head chef Sönke Höltgen impressed with a rich selection of finger food, including oysters from Frische Paradies in Hürth-Efferen.
In his brief welcoming words, board member Franz Gruber raised his glass to Michael Stern. The managing director of KölnSKY and initiator of the Fine Food Days Cologne, died in early May after a serious illness.
