New Year's day walk through German vineyards

German wine grower Karl Breth http://www.weingut-breth.de/ and I have been friends since we met as teenagers. We celebrated New Year together with his family, friends, my ex-wife and her husband and two of my children.

My journey to Alsheim included taking the ICE train from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt, which hit speeds of 238Km+ /hr (150mph). The quality of German trains is outstanding as is the value for money.



It was cold and very misty on New Year's day so pictures from the hill tops were pointless. This panoramic view across Alsheim and the Rhine valley from the base of the hills is worth clicking on .
