One of their six tasting rooms is less than five miles from my house, should I go give it a try and report back?
I could also buy a bottle and then pair it with these bratwurst which are produced about ten miles from where I grew up:

My annual "mitgliedskarte" from FC Heidenheim has arrived. 🙂🙂
It will be a hard year for FCH. The only silver lining is that it will be impossible for them to finish lower in the Bundesliga standings than they are expected to finish. 🙃

While technically not all the same shop (I don't think), this building in rural Michigan houses a sports bar, an ice cream parlor, AND a taxidermist.

No Elinor Ostrom signposts today, but the hike from the Simmenfalle waterfall (1104 meters above sea level) to the top of Wildstrubel (3244 meters above sea level) is one that I (and my legs) will remember for a very long time.

Took a hike above Lenk, Switzerland today and I looked over and saw a guide post that talked about Nobel Prize winning political-economist Elinor Ostrom. (Can't wait to add this to my course lecture slides about property rights.)

Let's just say that I want to see Frank Schmidt look as happy in the post-game interviews tomorrow as he did after the Union Berlin match two weeks ago. #NurDerFCH

About a decade ago I made a meager attempt to trick someone into the reading of actual literature. (It doesn't show up well in the photo, but the book in the middle is Somerset Maugham's "Of Human Bondage")

For the last twenty-five years I have always gotten a sense of Cold War nostalgia when going into the bunker in the basement of my Swiss in-laws' apartment building. I just hope it remains nostalgia.
