Schampus & Co.

In the organizer's words:

Seminar and tasting in German
Bubbly & Co.
Sparkling wine seminar and tasting
with Sascha Rimkus

Everyone likes sparkling water! Whether as an aperitif, for toasting and celebrating or even with a meal, Schmapus & Co. are popular. But who knows the differences between crémant and champagne, between sparkling wine and cava? What is the difference between sparkling wine and semi-sparkling wine and what is Prosecco? How does the much-cited bottle fermentation work and why is it so important? Did the French really invent champagne themselves or was it once again the English? England in general: have you ever tried delicious English sparkling wine? Or perhaps even sparkling wine made from Hessian apples? Why is the largest Mercedes Benz dealership in France located in a provincial town in Champagne? Lots of questions to be answered. And all with a glass of the tastiest bubbly in your hand. Cheers!

Sascha Rimkus

Born on the North Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein, little Sascha didn't exactly grow up with wine. His special passion for the subject only came about when he crossed the Elbe to the south and made his first trips to wine regions. Seeing how wine is made and then drinking it locally in dimly lit wine taverns was an awakening! The subject has stayed with him to this day. He has worked his way through countless wine lists and shelves around the world and spent many years in restaurants and bars. Today, he is one of the operators of Goldhahn and Sampson, where he continues to build a steadily growing wine department.
