German term or phrase: Gemma Köllaschaun
Headline of a hotel offering a deal for the Martiniloben wine event around St Martin's day on "11 November: "Im November heißt es wieder: „Gemma Köllaschaun“". Is this perhaps a traditional phrase that is uttered around that time? I'm assuming it is dialect.

agree  hazmatgerman (X): Remembering a phrasing from the UK one could say "Let's go underground" to play with the direction as in the German.//In D winegrowers have "Tag der offenen Weinkeller" in Straußwirtschaften. Idea's the same. Best.
