Mai Wine Fest 2008

          The atmosphere of genuine Gemuetlichkeit which always prevails at the Student Prince and Fort Restaurant will be enhanced this month during our May Wine Festival. The dining rooms are gaily decorated with garlands of spring flowers and clusters of grapes, with an old fashioned May Pole dominating the scene. The May Wine Bowl is overflowing with the great springtime potion - May Wine

          In the month of May, last year's wine harvest, which has rested quietly, snugly and undisturbed in huge oaken barrels through the winter, is ready to be tapped. This wine is young and abounding with vigor, but not quite ready to stand on its own. To highlight its taste and character, Waldmeister is added to this precious gift of Bacchus. What is Waldmeister (Woodruff) or Asperula Oderata to the botanist? It is the first flower of spring which grows in abundance throughout Germany. Many of these tiny blossoms are pushing their way through the last thin crust of snow - remnants of Old Man Winter. Waldmeister is gathered when the shoots are about two inches high. They are then steeped for about twenty-four hours in the new wine, imparting their aromatic flavor to this palatable beverage. Thus we combine nature's first springtime gift with the last of autumn's.

          And that is May Wine - here at its best, served with luscious sun-ripened, fresh strawberries. A drink as fragrant, young and delightfully refreshing as the month of May!

      Our chefs are proud to prepare this special festival menu which features many seasonal dishes that you will find both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat.

          May we say, "Prosit und einen Guten Appetit!"
