The Franken region - well known for the traditional Bocksbeutel bottle - is famous for their dry wines grown on the steep vineyards along the banks of the Main River. Especially acclaimed is the Silvaner grape, which is most suitable for this growing area. Our Franken Silvaner is a typical representative for the region. The Staatliche Hofkeller Würzburg is one of the oldest wine estates in Europe, dating back to 1128. The winery is based in the former royal court cellars at the UNESCO listed Residence of the Prince Bishops of Würzburg. Over the years they have held glamorous receptions for statesmen, emperors and kings, a tradition still upheld today. The Hofkeller’s winemaking history is equally rich; the cellars actually saw the pressing of the world’s first Eiswein in 1835. Traditional methods and the care and attention paid to their vineyards, combined with investment in modern cellar techniques has preserved the distinct character of their wines. The estate owns the region’s best vineyards, in particular the prized Würzburg Stein. The estate makes delicious wine from Riesling and Silvaner, as well as Müller-Thurgau and Pinot Noir. However, Hofkeller is famed for its Rieslaner, a less well known variety which produces wines with a perfect balance of acidity and earthy fullness. Our Sommerfest Menu will start on July 5th - please click here for a sneak preview Have a wonderful and happy 4th of July! "Trocken" means Very Dry Franken wines are much sought after due to being dry and full bodied. Now available in the US is the Hofkeller’s award winning Franconia wine, a cuveé of the estates finest grapes giving a dry, easy drinking wine that is a great alternative to chardonnay.

Your hint: This arena was in the spotlight in 1972 and 1974 for some international sporting events and is used this year as the Fan Fest arena. The roof construction of the stadium is unique.   mailto:bavarian@bavariangrill.com before the next issue is published and you can win a Bavarian Grill Gift Certificate for $ 25  The correct answer for the last quiz question:  Passau We are above a town in Niederbayern or in Eastern Bavaria known also as the Dreiflüssestadt (City of Three Rivers), because the Danube River is joined there by the Inn River from the South, and the Ilz River coming out of the Bavarian Forest to the North. An interesting fact is that the Inn is the largest river of the three meeting at the city, so that the Danube should really be called Inn from here on. However, at the place of the confluence of two rivers, the name is given to the one which is the longest. The Inn may be wider here than the Danube; still, the name stays Danube as the latter is the longer of the two.   Congratulations to: Johnny Efurd Your name was drawn from all the correct answers! Please mark your calendar for the 5th annual Plano Sunrise Rotary Oktoberfest at the Bavarian Grill on Monday, Oktober 16, 2006. Thank you for your many correct responses! Return to the top ↑ The World Cup Quater Finals are coming: Millions of fans in Germany and Argentina are bursting with anticipation ahead of the teams' FIFA World Cup™ quarter-final meeting at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Friday at 10 am Plano time. Both sides have earned plaudits for their scintillating attacking football at the tournament so far, all the more reason for us to take a closer look at the two sides’ tournament statistics and ask which team has the edge going into Friday's contest. A quick glance at both sides' goal scoring records provides a mouth-watering hint of what may be to come. The teams boast identical records of ten goals for and two against, indicating that both defenders and forwards are at the top of their game. Jurgen Klinsmann’s men got the FIFA World Cup off to a rip-roaring start with four goals in the Opening Match against Costa Rica, followed by a narrow 1-0 win over neighbors Poland. A resounding 3-0 defeat of Ecuador gave a healthy boost to their Goals For column, before the Mannschaft netted twice more in the Round of 16 against Sweden. The Argentines' scoring exploits divide up a little differently, as half-a-dozen of their goals came in a single coruscating display against Serbia and Montenegro. The Albiceleste had opened their campaign with two goals against Côte d’Ivoire and they struck twice more against Mexico in the last 16. Their potent forward line failed to register only once, in a goalless draw with Netherlands. Efficient Argentina A review of the teams’ shots at goal provides a minor surprise: the Germans have required 78 attempts, 38 of them on target, to record their ten goals, almost twice as many as Argentina, who have the same number of goals from 41 attempts, 21 of them on target. Both teams have landed roughly half their attempts on the target (Germany 49 per cent, Argentina 51 per cent), so the South Americans clearly rate as the more efficient of the pair. Approximately every fourth Argentine effort has resulted in a goal (24 per cent), whereas the Germans have only netted one shot in eight (13 per cent). Germany are ahead by a wafer-thin margin in terms of passing. Klinsmann's team has completed 1,748 of a total of 2,070 passes (84 per cent), whereas the Argentines have found a team-mate with 1,666 out of 1,998 (83 per cent). The hosts have had more success with their crosses too, landing 33 out of 111 on a team-mate's head, chest or foot (30 per cent). By comparison Argentina has managed this on only ten occasions out of 66 (15 per cent). The Germans are also slightly ahead on discipline with five yellow cards compared with Argentina’s eight bookings. Germany have committed 66 fouls to the South Americans' 69, although the situation is reversed for fouls suffered: opponents have fouled Argentina 83 times to Germany’s 70. The hosts lead the way in terms of possession, having controlled the ball for 227 minutes in their four matches to Argentina's 205 minutes. Much more surprisingly, the Albiceleste have only launched a paltry six counterattacks, compared to an impressive 26 quick-fire breaks by the host nation. Ultimately, however, the Argentines will derive both comfort and inspiration from their overall record in this tantalizing fixture. The nations have met 16 times at full international level, with five wins for Germany, four draws, and seven Argentine victories, the two-time world champions finding the net 23 times to the three time win-it-all Europeans’ tally of 22.

Bier Lovers Corner:  Hefe Weizen History Weissbier is one of the many beer styles created by Bavarian brewmasters. It was first made in the early 16th century in the Bavarian Forest (next to what is now the Czech Republic), around the same time that the first Bavarian lager styles, such as the Dunkelbier, the Maerzen, and the Bockbier, began to appear, mainly in Munich. Today, Bavarian breweries produce more than 200 million US gallons (roughly 7.7 million hectoliters) of Weissbier a year. This means that about one of every three brews made in Bavaria is a Weissbier. In terms of consumption, however, only one in every four beers drunk in Bavaria is a Weissbier. The production share of Weissbier is larger than the consumption share, because much of the Bavarian Weissbier is exported around the globe.   There were periods throughout its almost 400-year old history when Weissbier faced an uphill fight for consumer acceptance, even in Bavaria, its land of origin. In fact, Weissbier-making almost came to a complete stand-still in the 1870s. This is when Carl von Linde invented beer refrigeration and installed the first functioning cooler for beer tanks in the Spaten Brewery of Munich. Before this monumental engineering breakthrough, all beers brewed in the summer months had to be made with warm- and top-fermenting yeast strains, that is, they had to be ales, because of the high ambient temperatures. Only in the winter, when bottom- and cold-fermenting yeast strains thrived, did Bavarian brewers make nothing but lagers. With the advent of refrigeration, however, Bavarian brewers could make lagers year-round. The result was that, in the latter part of the 19th century, ale-making fell out of favor in Bavaria, even in the summer ... and because Weissbiers are ales, they went the way of ales in general. For almost one hundred years, Weissbiers were relegated to a marginal beer style in the Bavarian brewing scene. By the 1950s and early 1960s, the Weissbier share had fallen to below 3% of the overall Bavarian beer production. Many breweries no longer bothered with this style at all, and the future of Weissbier did not look bright, except as a curiosity and a relict of the past. But a sudden — and largely inexplicable — shift in consumer taste after 1965, not only in Bavaria but in the entire world, triggered a rapid and spectacular Weissbier-Renaissance — a revival that has continued to this day! By 1994, Weissbier was outselling even the Bavarian Helles, the traditional staple quaff in Bavaria’s legendary beer gardens. Consumer studies have since shown that Weissbier is particularly popular among young adults, both men and women, who are occupationally and physically active and consider the crisp and refreshing taste of Weissbier a fitting and indispensable part of their daily lives. The perfect Texas summer thirst quencher.
