2024 Loire by ombiasy Wine Tours, led by Annette Schiller, took place from Sunday, June 9 to Thursday June 20, 2024. The tour started in Nantes and ended in Sancerre.

Annette and I left Washington DC (USA) by plane on June 3, spent 3 nights at our German home in Frankfurt, and continued on June 7 to Nantes by train.

In Frankfurt, on all three evenings we went to Mainlust Desche Otto, a couple of blocks away from our home, where we enjoyed Apfelwein (Hard Cider) as well as Burgundy reds, Hand Cheese (Handkäses), Grüne Sauce (Green Sauce), Bratkartoffeln (Fried Potatoes) as well as Oysters and Steak Tartare.

Zur Mainlust Desche Otto

The apple wine tavern (Apfelweinwirtschaft) is as distinctive a Frankfurt institution as the Bierkeller is of Munich or the Weinstube of Mainz. Many of the best-known establishments are concentrated in Sachsenhausen, but others are dotted all over the city. They are strongly traditional. They offer hearty local cuisine, usually at moderate prices. Mainlust Desche-Otto is a small and cosy apple wine tavern with a lovely garden, run by Claudia and Louie - in walking distance from where we live in Frankfurt am Main. Claudia and Louie's motto is "hard-core Hessian". They strive for the "not so usual", with delicious local fare with a modern touch, over 150 brandies (Louie's passion) and the Kulturpfuhl Schwanheim Program.
