I have been sacrificing my body to test beers for future visitors. This is one of the best Pils I've had:

Can do.... Here are examples of a local white wine and my favorite Chianti from Italy:

A couple of good choices for dry white wine from the local region of Frankonia:

Some of my favorite reds:

As with the beers, you have to know the local varieties since the offering varies by regions.

A couple of barn finds

The first one will be restored:

The second one will be used for spare parts and the motor will end up in a go cart:

This was the easy part so far:

Visited a museum that showed items from a fortified settlement that was discovered in 1973 and is only
5 km from where I grew up. It was inhabited from 4000 BC to 700 BC and had it's heyday in the late bronze age from 800 to 880 BC:
