As many of you know, I'm not a beer drinker and Drew isn't a drinker at all, so Bavaria isn't the easiest place to be, filled as it is with biergartens. However, the Mosel Valley in Germany and Tirol in Austria have served me well in my love of wine. I'm in no way a connoisseur; I know very little about wine aside from what I like and dislike. For those who know wine (many of you as well) this might not be new information.
The first wine I've discovered on our trip is rotling, common in the Mosel valley. It's made of both red and white grapes and served chilled, but it's not a rosé; it has way more red in it than that. Very refreshing and entirely too drinkable. Good thing Germans bake excellent bread to soak it up.
The second is the zweigelt, an Austrian red wine that I think of as somewhere between a merlot and cabernet. It warms the body and soul on chilly Alpine nights (there are a lot of those here, so I have to drink a lot of it).
