Kaiserstuhl: The German Wine Road

Kaiserstuhl is in the same general area as the famous French Alsace (just across the Rhine River) and thus shares the same micro-climate that supports dozens of wineries. We had a beautiful weekend and decided to take a hike through the vinyards. Each village in the area has serveral wineries, but they are usually only open to the public during the week. We did find one that gave us a personal wine tasting, Gleichenstein - we liked everything we tried, but narrowed it down to two bottles, made our purchase and then headed over to the Oberrotweil Wine Festival (there are TONS of wine festivals in the fall so when the mood strikes it's not too hard to find one =) We also stumbled onto a local specialty: zwiebelkuchen (literally onion cake) which was actually quite good.
