[Leica] IMG: two Rhine Valley castles

[Adam Bridge]

We had delicious local red wines, Sonny. I was amazed at the vineyards which sometimes seemed almost vertical. The vintner we visited said they have to get imported labor to do the harvesting - that the native population won’t do the work for the euro they can offer. Which sounded very familiar to me. I don’t think the locals here, though, are quite as bitter as the German gentleman was. He also said the weather has been playing Hobb with the grape crop.
