Background: We first met our German hosts on last year's Wind / Peel Rivers canoe trip in Yukon. They invited us to visit them ... it would be a convenient way to introduce us to a small region of Europe they said ... and, they certainly were not mistaken. Wonderful hosts and great tour guides ... we had a blast! The majority of our accommodation was in private suites at their homes and each shared us for part of the trip.
Both homes featured a well-stocked wine cellar!
Rainer - " Drink more wine, then I can buy more to fill my cellar "
Dieter - " Tonight I would like to open a bottle of 1966 vintage "
Excerpt From KANOE TRIPPING Journal:
" You can't eat a loaf of bread and a pound of cheese and drink a bottle of wine every day for 24 days in a row and not gain weight! "
We hope to repay them someday for their superb hospitality.
