I hate to be simplistic here, but, um... does this reference have anything to do with R�desheim? I try to go there at least once every time I have to pull duty at Wiesbaden. There's a little wine shop there, run by some Japanese folks, that I always try to frequent. It's really a quaint little town, right along the Rhine, and there are quite a few nice restaurants there, too. I love going there for dinner, when I have time and transportation.

Yes , Russ , the R�desheimer Kaffee has something to do with R�desheim . As for me , I do not appreciate the " Drosselgasse " , this typical tourist area there . As I said in a previous reply in the " Best beer " thread , drive 50 km to the Nahe valley and try the wines there , grown on heavy clay soil . Go to one of the lovely little villages like Bad M�nster and try the wines of Helmut Voigtl�nder , a keen hunter and very good wine maker . His wines grow at the foot of the Rotenfels , the highest and steepest rock orth of the Alpes .
I wonder , when you stay in Germany exactly , as we only live 100 km from Wiesbaden .
Please feel invited to visit us , if you want to . Do you know , that your Hatary question made me look in these forums here . I also post on a different forum and you gave me this hint , saying , you hop Swamp does not mind !
Enjoy your stay in Germany ! Heike

This is all quite interesting, regarding the RSA/"coffee sucks" situation. I'm hoping my stocks will provide me with a safari in 2005 -- and after all the posts, here, I "KNOW" I'm bringing my own coffee. I take it that it's much worse than three-day-old Army coffee???

Heike:

I'm leaving on 16 Mar 2002 and will return 6 Apr 2002. He was a fool, whomever cut my orders, because he gave me a rental car. The fool. Turning me loose on the Autobahn? "ME???" Again I say, "fool." Especially since everyone in my unit knows how I drive. On the other hand, I probably won't be getting a Porsche Carrera GT, either. (Probably a good thing -- for the Germans.) Pity. That car... on the Autobahn... with ME driving... and The Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" playing on the CD player. As the MasterCard commercial says... "priceless."

If I get a chance, I'll check out some of the wine places you mentioned, Heike. Thanks.

Russ
