19th September 2004 - We visited Sankt Martin located in the Germany Weinstrasse. This is about 25 minutes from our house. They have staretd to harvest the grapes and it is possible to buy Neuer wein (new wine - see sign in the Sankt Martin photo) which is still fermenting. You need to keep releasing the pressure in the container.
