Winery Blankenhorn delivers the "culture capital red wine"

Fifty-three top caterers from the most important cities of the Ruhr area, among them Bochum, Dortmund, Duisburg and Oberhausen, will provide guests with a culinary capital atmosphere. These caterers have come joined together in the society “ESSEN GENIESSEN E.V.” due to their conviction that eating and drinking are a vital part of the culture capital year. With the motto “Here Europe's heart cooks” these 53 restaurants will serve their Ruhr-menu-roller coaster 2010: Monthly changing, exciting and innovative 4-course meals that are based on Ruhr-typical products.

These meals are accompanied by also carefully selected wines and bubblies. For red wines, the 2008 Pinot Noir red wine QbA dry from the VDP winery Blankenhorn from the South Baden village of Schliengen was selected.

Matured and grown on deep mud-loess soil of the Schliengen Sun Piece (South-West position with 30 to 50 percent downwards inclination), completed according to the strict rules of the VDP (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter – association of German certified wineries) and the know-how of a terrific top winery; Rosemarie “Roy” Blankenhorn, who has been the director of the winery Blankenhorn for 15 years in the South Baden village of Schliengen, is more than happy to officially deliver her Pinot Noir for ESSEN GENIESSEN 2010 e.V.
