Back from Alsace

[hotwine]

Welcome back, Bucko! Strasbourg was one of our favorite cities when we lived in Germany - extraordinary food and wine, and delightful people with a tolerance for Americans struggling to speak French or German. Wonderful flea market, too!

How in the world did you carry three cases of wine? The most I've managed from a trip to Germany was 19 bottles: 15 rolled up in dirty laundry in the suitcase, and four in the briefcase (one of the latter was a $45 Lafite).
