Kaisermenü at Weingut Robert Weil during the Glorreiche Rheingau Tage

As an appointed purveyor to royal houses ranging from the kaisers of Germany and Austria to the Russian Czar and King of England, Weingut Robert Weil has archived a sizable collection of menus from notable historical lunches and dinners. There alongside the grand reds of Bordeaux, Sauternes and Tokaj stand Riesling wines from the Rheingau - and the Kiedricher Berg in particular. During this period (the early 20th century), the Kiedricher vineyards of Weingut Robert Weil had in fact already earned a place of honor on the wine lists of the world's grandest hotels as well.
This incredible collection caught the attention of celebrated chef Egbert Engelhardt over twenty years ago, inspiring him to start recreating a different one of these historical menus each year. Always at Weingut Robert Weil, and always during the Glorreiche Rheingau Tage.
