I Love German Wine and Food - a Pfalz Pinot Noir
If you are hankering for fine German wine and food, you should consider the Pfalz region of southwestern Germany. You may find a bargain, and I really hope that you'll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a local Pinot Noir.
The Pfalz is a narrow region about 80 kilometers long, close to the river Rhine. The Church owned the best vineyards until Napoleon redistributed them. There are about 25,000 vineyards whose average size is less than a hectare (about 2.5 acres). Given their small plots, most vineyard owners work elsewhere to make a living. While Pfalz was once the number one German wine producing region, it now ranks number two in both total wine production and vineyard acreage behind its northern neighbor, Rheinhessen. In the Pfalz, sometimes called the Tuscany of Germany, temperatures often climb into the mid ninety degrees Fahrenheit (mid thirty degrees Centigrade) and many farmers raise "southern" crops such as figs and lemons.
About 80% of Pfalz wine is white. The most widely grown grape varieties are the German developed hybrid Mueller Thurgau, and the generally higher quality Riesling. Local red grape varieties include Portugieser and to a lesser extent Pinot Noir, better known by its German name, Spaetburgunder. About 10% of Pfalz wine is classified as basic table wine, over 70% as middle of the road QbA wine, and the remainder is classified as higher quality QmP wine.
The German Wine Road crosses the Pfalz region. Virtually anywhere you go on this road you can find something worth seeing, worth tasting, and I daresay worth eating. The city of Neustadt and its suburbs are close to the halfway point of this road. Every October they host the Deutsches Weinlesefest (German Wine Harvest Festival) with many, many floats and a German Wine Queen. Make sure that you visit the Marktplatz (market square) on market days (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) when local farmers sell their produce. Take a look at the square's many Baroque and Renaissance buildings and its Gothic church whose north tower boasts the largest cast-iron bell in the world. If you're in good shape, climb the south tower and enjoy the view.
You may find it more difficult to get a glimpse of the Elwetritsche, a fabled half bird, half human creatures of the Pfalz forest. You can ride through the forest on the Kuckucksbaehnel (Steam Train) from the Eisenbahn Museum (Railroad Museum) behind the main train station. You'll have to plan in advance because these trains run every other Sunday during the season. Finish your tour of Neustadt's Old Town with a few medieval lanes where you will probably want to eat, drink, and shop.
Before reviewing the Pfalz wine and imported cheeses that we were lucky enough to purchase at a local wine store and a local Italian food store, here are a few suggestions of what to eat with indigenous wines when touring this beautiful region. Start with Grumbeersupp (Potato Soup). For your second course enjoy Gequellde mit Lewwerworscht (Cooked Potatoes with Liver Sausage). For dessert indulge yourself with Schwarzwaelder Torte (Black Forest Cake, Chocolate Cake with Whipped Cream and Cherries).

Wine Reviewed Lorch Pinot Noir Classic 2004 13.5% alcohol about $14
Let's start by quoting the marketing materials. This Pinot Noir displays pretty cherry, plum and earth tones. It is dry, light-bodied with a nice, lingering fruit/acid finish. This charming wine's hint of tannin is softened by the lemon, while the cucumber and dill match the Pinot's earthier tendencies.
My first pairing was with slow cooked meatballs and potatoes, accompanied by a somewhat spicy red pepper, tomato, and garlic "salsa". This wine was round and long but not imposing. It was moderately acidic and held up well to the spices. Perhaps surprisingly I tasted some bubble gum. No it wasn't a Beaujolais Nouveau. I like to think that I know when I'm drinking a Pinot Noir, but such wasn't the case here. I finished the meal with a top-of-the-line chocolate mousse cake but the combination wasn't really good. The cake and the wine didn't meld.
My next trial involved a home made barbecued chicken that had marinated in a sweet and sour Thai sauce. The side dish was a specialty of the local supermarket, roasted potatoes cooked in chicken fat. Yummy. I found the wine nicely acidic and quite fruity. The wine's fruit was a good match for the fruit in the marinade. On the other hand, I thought that the potatoes would bring out the earthiness of the Pinot Noir. Such was not to be.
The final meal included store bought barbecued spare ribs, rice, and saut

Questions about The Age of Imperialism and German Unification?
I really need help with this study guide, could you please answer these questions in 2-3 sentence? Pleasee and thank you!!
What is Jethro Tull known for?
What did Marx say about socialist society?
What was the initial result of Industrialization?
What is "Blood and Iron"? Please explain this
What is Ems Telegraph?
What was the key factor in Unifying Germany by 1872?
Jethro Tull invented the Seed Drill (1701).This planted seeds in neat rows and deeper in the ground;more thus grew to maturity (it was harder for birds to get at them) and the whole was easier to harvest,thus leading to increased crop yields.
Marx said everybody would be equal and work and benefits would be equally divided amongst all,allowing individuals the scope to achieve their full potential in whatever field they were best at.
A population shift from the countryside to cities. Expansion of the middle class,as factories needed educated managers and accountants to run them.Increase in child labour.
"Blood and iron" was a speech given by Otto von Bismarck in 1862. He wanted an increase in the Prussian military,on the grounds that Prussia's power could only be developed through strength - the "blood and iron" of its people and army. The phrase is often used to describe Bismarck's foreign policy of unifying Germany through militarism.
The Ems Telegram of July 1870 was a dispatch from the king of Prussia to Bismarck about a meeting the king had had with the French ambassador,concerning a suggestion of a Prussian candidate for the vacant Spanish throne (which France was strongly opposed to). Bismark edited the text of the telegram so it appeared to deliberate insult France,and then published it.This had the effect of goading France into declaring war on Prussia (which is what Bismarck wanted).
The strength and efficiency of the modern Prussian army,particularly as shown in its easy victory over France in the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War.
