and before visiting:
Weingut Hart in Piesport, with Johannes Haart,
we had lunch at Juffer Flair in Brauneberg.
The Restaurant Juffer Flair comes with a beautiful view on the Mosel river and the famous “Juffer” vineyard. It belongs to Weingut Christian Steinmetz.
Christian Steinmetz grew up at Weingut Günther Steinmetz, also in Brauneberg, which is now owned and run by Christian's brother Stefan Steinmetz.
Christian Steinmetz is a winemaker (Winzermeister) by training and worked in various wineries in Germany before settling in Brauneberg and opening his own restaurant and winery in 1999. The vineyard area of Weingut Christian Steinmetz now totals about 2 hectares. Most of the wine is sold in the restaurant. Christian Steinmetz is also the chef at Restaurant Juffer Flair and his wife runs the service.
Wine Presses from Roman Times in Piesport
Before the visit of Weingut Haart, we made a short stop to take a look at two 2000 year-old wine presses from Roman times. These presses in close proximity to each other and at the edge of the world famous wine site “Piesporter Goldtröpfchen” were only discovered in 1985 and 1991 when road building measures for land consolidation were undertaken.
