Apple Wine!!!

Our friend Sarah is visiting from Washington D.C.  So, as part of her tour around town we went over to Sachsenhausen, a beautiful old section of Frankfurt, across the river from the downtown skyscrapers and banks.  This area is also know for its Apfelwein, the Frankfurter drink.  Sarah and I stopped for lunch (and an obligatory Apfelwein) at Zum Gemalten Haus, a very old apple wine pub; the decor was antler-influenced, the waiter was delightful, and the spinatcremesuppe (spinach cream soup) was to die for.  The pitchers you see are Bembel - the crockery that apple wine is served in.  Prost!!
