Kochkurs: Das Weinmenü

In the organizer's words:

Cooking course in German
The wine menu
Wine tasting and matching, home-cooked menu
with Petra Rimkus & Diego Marchi

Have you ever had a great meal in mind and then stood in despair in front of the large wine rack? Or summoned up the aplomb to counter the arrogant waiter with the right wine order? What was that again with aperitif and dessert wine? Which wine with which meal? Petra & Diego want to provide answers to these fundamental questions. Of course, your own taste always decides, but there are many guidelines that can be followed. Always white wine with fish and preferably red wine with cheese? No way, say the two and show what is possible.

Menu:

• Crispy char fillet on mountain lentils
• Pink cooked saddle of lamb, port wine jus, potato gratin, roasted asparagus
• Tarte au Chocolat with salty caramel
• accompanied by wines from Germany, France, Italy and Austria

Petra Rimkus & Diego Marchi

Petra Rimkus, born in Lüneburg Heath in Germany, was 75 years old and stole her grandmother's pots and spoons from the kitchen to cook in the garden as a child. Her fate was thus sealed and her career path predetermined. Petra has been cooking up a storm in Berlin's kitchens since 2002 and founded her own catering service deli.cat in 2012. Since 2020, she has also been running EVE coffee & kitchen and spoiling guests with her delicacies.

Born in Tuscany, a land of artistic and gastronomic excellence, Diego studied art history in Pisa. Having moved to Berlin, he combines work in the art scene with experience in gastronomy. His passion for food and wine led him to give up his job as a curator for good to become a sommelier. After a decade of experience in Berlin gastronomy, including in Michelin-starred restaurants, Diego starts working at Goldhahn and Sampson to share his passion for the vines and all their facets through courses and consulting.
