Not Leaving Port(o) - History of the Germans

Hello and welcome to, well an absence of an episode of the History of the Germans. This is just a short message to let you know that unfortunately there will not be an episode of the History of the Germans this week. It is all the fault of a guy called Rafael Miranda who runs the worlds best wine tasting at the Quinta de San Tiago over in Rede in the Douro valley in Portugal.

No worries, normal service will resume next week.

To explain what happened, let me briefly describe how the process to create a new episode for the History of the Germans works.

Here are some of the Portuguese wineries I recommend:

Quinta de S. Tiago

The great Rafael Miranda and his estate at S. Tiago in Rede 281, 5040-494 Mesão Frio, Portugal)

Quinta Dos Espinheros

Equally lovely small, family run winery:

N 323, 5060-290 Provesende, Portugal

Quinta dos Espinheiros - Yon Wine

Quinta da Fonte do Milho

Another small producer making a lovely quaffable white wine. best thing is the tasting up on a mountain with lovely breakfast, jams, olive oil etc.

Quinta da Fonte do Milho – Vinhos e Azeite do Douro

The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.

To make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

So far I have:

The Ottonians

Salian Emperors and Investiture Controversy

Fredrick Barbarossa and Early Hohenstaufen

Frederick II Stupor Mundi

Saxony and Eastward Expansion

The Hanseatic League

The Teutonic Knights

The Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356

The Reformation before the Reformation

The Empire in the 15th century

The Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs
