Cloudy day, but still with an impressive sunset!

Walking Time!

Our Sunday morning walk. In the back of Friedhof Lintert, at Lintertstrasse, we went into the forest. Suddenly a nice building - not sure about the function: water control?

 

Love our walks in bucolic scenery.

Restaurant Session (in Dreis): Sonnora

In the evening, we went down for dinner at restaurant Sonnora✨✨✨ from chef Clemens Rambichler.

Great dishes, perfect pairing, very friendly service. Unfortunately the pacing was not as good as our first visit here: at a certain moment, it took very long between dishes. But despite it, still one of our favourite restaurants💗

 

As a little note: I can't find a picture of the menu... So lots of pictures to remember, but no description this time. We will definitely have to go back again 😊

We had an aperitif in the lounge. I had a glass of champagne Brut Rosé from Billecart-Salmon. Roger had a glass of 2019 Riesling Sekt Brut from Saarfeilser.

 

 After the aperitif, we went to our table. View to the entrance - love the beautiful flower arrangement.

 

At our table.

 

With the appetizers, a glass of 2021 J.R. Riesling Feinherb from Weingut Josef Rosch.

 

 

Oyster with cucumber in a nice refreshing preparation.

 

 

 

 As first dish, foie gras.

 

 A glass of 2009 Saarburger Rausch Riesling Auslese from Weingut Forstmeister Geltz-Zilliken.

 

We added the signature dish to our menu: tart of beef tartare with N-25 caviar selection and hash browns.

[Kleine Torte vom Rinderfilet-Tatar mit N25 Caviar-Selection Sonnora auf Kartoffelrösti]

 

 Pause to use the toilet and take a picture of the icon golden swan 😊

 

As second dish, langoustine.

 

Pairing with the langoustine, a glass of 2019 Engelgarten from Domaine Marcel Deiss.

 

A glass of 2015 Anjou Blanc from Domaine Pithon-Paillé.

 

I missed the dish picture. But we had a glass of 2016 Château Carbonnieux Blanc Cru Classé Péssac-Léognan.

 

As main dish, we had the wagyu preparation. 

 

Perfection!

 

With the main dish, a glass of 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Cuvée Vieilles Vignes from Domaine Silvie Esmonin.

 

 

Sweet time! The first dessert.

Pairing with the first dessert, the 2017 Riesling 'Alte Reben' Qualitätswein feinherb from Carl von Schubert'sche Gutsverwaltung. Very nice!

 

Hello!

 

The second dessert, with strawberries.

The last wine of the pairing: a glass of 2018 Trittenheimer Apotheke Riesling Auslese from Weingut Franz-Josef Eifel.

 

To finish an excellet dinner, coffee and gourmandises.

Sleeping in Dreis (Germany): Waldhotel Sonnora

On our way to Dreis to...

 

...stay at Waldhotel Sonnora to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

 

Love the colours of the room.

 

Welcome fruits.

 

The bathroom. Lovely wood counter and...

 

...a big window over the throne 😀

 

The view of our balcony. The gazebo in the hotel grounds and...

 

...view over Dreis' town.

 

Before going for a pre-dinner nap, we had a piece of quark and mandarin cake.
