Here is Jo Steib at lunch - you can see the vineyard and heavy equipment in the background. This isn't Jo's day job he normally works for Diamler-Chrysler, but manages his vineyards as a hobby.
It was a blast ... we picked some really beautiful grapes! The 2 year old vines didn't have a lot of grapes, but the 3 year old ones were CHOCK FULL of luscious clusters.
Pete looking handsome hard at work :)
After a few hours of fun work, we had a "fesber", which is Swabian for "snack", which really means a massive meal-party in the back of a van :-) We had tasty wines, meats, cheeses, freshly baked breads, etc.etc. ... lots of fun.
What a great cultural experience.
Julie hung out with Susanne, had a restful morning and lots of good conversation.
Afterwards, we hit the local kid's store (nope we're not pregnant) to get some German kid's books for Julie. We ended up getting about 20!
For dinner, Michael's sister Gabi dropped by, and the kitchen crew made some of the pasta we brought from Italy - yum!! I didn't know pasta could be so tasty by itself! Spoon some chicken tomato sauce over it and accompany it with fresh stir-fry veggies, and you've got a hit! We opened the second bottle of wine gifted to us from the Italian B&B hosts, and it was awesome. Yum!
