Sorry, only in German. Das war mal wieder ein Zufallsfund in unserem Marbacher Anzeigenblättchen. Wengerte auf Probe? Ich kenne aus der Pfalz den Ausdruck Wingert für einen Weingarten, das dürfte also sowas ähnliches sein.
Nach eingehender Recherche stellte sich das als ein Projekt dar, bei dem (Hobby)Winzer alte, brach liegende Steillagen wieder zum Leben erwecken. Das sind inzwischen an die 60 Menschen, die eine fast vergessenen Kultur...
Sorry, only in German. Am Sonntag, dem 09.11.2025 ging es zu Speis&Trank nach Fellbach in die Alte Kelter.
Eine kleine aber feine Hausmesse in einem sehr großzügigen Gebäude. Es war auch hier recht stark besucht, aber lange nicht so überfüllt, wie bei den Frühjahrs- und Herbstmessen auf dem Stuttgarter Messegelände.
Nach dem üblichen Rundgang mit reichlichen Geschmacksproben gab es noch ein Meckatzer helles Bier, bevor wir uns wieder...

A brief explanation for English speakers: The Limes is not a citrus fruit; 2000 years ago it was the border between free Germania and the Roman Empire like the Hadrian wall in northern Scotland. A very porous border, the Romans loved Germanic smoked ham, honey and furs, which they happily traded with the Germanic barbarians. In contrast, Roman glassware and metals were very popular in Germania.
From Friday to Whit Monday there is a...

Once a year, during the spring fairs in Stuttgart, Slow Food also takes place on the exhibition grounds. For a foodie, this is of course a must. So I booked tickets in advance over the internet and printed them out with lots of cursing and several attempts. The printer is still relatively new, but it already has the second set of color cartridges and they are not original Epson, which he complained about when installing it.
So we...

It's officially spring since February 20th, which means the time for street food markets has begun again. On Saturday we were in Ludwigsburg at a small, manageable street food market in downtown Ludwigsburg on Wilhelmstrasse near the town hall. With all the chaos with the strikes on public transport, we simply took the car and actually found a parking space in the Wilhelm Galerie car park.
From there it was actually just a few steps...
E: SÜFFA stands for "Südliche Fleischer Fachausstellung", Southern Butcher Exhibition. It takes place once a year in late summer/autumn in Stuttgart. In contrast to the IFFA in Frankfurt am Main (IFFA stands for International Butcher Exhibition), the smaller Stuttgart trade fair is designed more for smaller craft businesses. The Frankfurt trade fair is more like a large-scale technology exhibition.

E On Sunday afternoon we took the train and subway to the Stuttgart exhibition center for the German Grill & BBQ Championship.
If you know the tightly organized BBQ competitions from the USA, you had to say goodbye to the idea here. It was a motley crowd of stalls with grill organizations (including the Grillsportverein), contestants, Weber and Napoleon Grills adverts, and of course the ubiquitous vendors of grill spices.

In mid-April 2023, after the long pandemic, the Slow food fair finally took place again in the usual setting. In 2022 there was probably a heavily slimmed down version, but we didn't want to do that to ourselves. The trade fair has definitely become a lot fewer, half a hall was enough, which earlier was full.
What had increased a lot this time were the small product samples, which were much more sparingly. This also led to us buying...
