Janet's parents came out for a nice visit at the end of August... which corresponds wonderfully with the culmination of Wine season in Germany. We took a day trip out to the Mosul River Valley and spent the day at the Weingut Sebastiani Vineyards. Alfons Sebastiani is the owner of the vineyard and it has been in his family for generations...
You can see miles and miles of vineyards in the background. The vineyards are only planted on the Southern slopes to maximize the sun.
We sat down with the owners and they let us taste a number of the wines and talked to us about the process of making wine and all the little nuances that go into it.
Then we went down in the cellars where they ferment and bottle everything! So cool!

Well, you can take the Texan out of Texas but you can't take it out of this guy! Pop took the smoked salmon at a restaurant and mashed it all up... but he ate it! :-)The best part was that Russ was able to fly back through Germany on his way to Iraq. We went to Frankfurt to pick him up on Friday... then spent the night because Sandra and Norman were flying out Saturday morning....
