We spent last Wednesday night in the Burghotel Auf Shoenburg 500 feet above the village of Oberwesel on the Rhine or Rhein. Absolutely spectacular! The rooms are immaculate and very well equipped and there is a bottle of conac on the table to use as you wish … free. Inside the minibar the water, soda and beer were 1 euro each. After drinks on the patio looking down on 5,000 years of history on the Rhine, we had a fantastic dinner in the castle dining room. One the way home we picked up another dozen cases of wine for the Tillemas to ship with their household goods. Hey, really good wines … we know, we tasted em … anywhere from 2.8 to 4.5 euros a bottle.
