    Thanx again for all the welcoming!

    Of course the german parts of the alps are much bigger, higher and better than the swiss parts and so is our chocolate

    And as I must confess:

    Yes, there is no better beer than the Oktoberfest-Wiesnbier!

    Helloooooo, waving from the mountains of West Virginia.

    It sounds to me like the German Alps must be Beautiful and if they have "fine" chocolate and great beer....I'll have to come and visit one day

    I enjoyed the Weltenburg beer. After close to 1000 years, those monks have learned how to make beer.

    Yup - we have it pretty good over here for beer. And surprisingly, in my region at least, wine. It takes a little getting used to after a lifetime of drinking dry southern hemisphere wines, but the reds from my region are amongst some of the best I have ever tasted.

    The irony is that most people only know blue nun, liebfraumilch and black tower, and these wines are virtually unknown inside of Germany. They export the rubbish and keep the good stuff here.

    Many of the European makers of wine and beer are not large enough to be more than local or national in distribution. There is a nice Hungarian winery, Gal Tabor. I first had it on a Lufthansa flight. Can't find it in California. The Italians probably have hundreds of wineries. If they get to this country, they have to be large and the price is three times what it is in Rome.
