We showed up thinking we’d see some people we knew, but not expecting as much fun as we had. We picked up our glasses and a bottle of wine. (Wait – let me pause here to mention that Ipsheim is a vineyard town … so the wine fest was to celebrate this year’s harvest, and all the wine is from this town.) Okay back to the fest, there’s a huge table full of people in our company. Like we had our own section.
Bottles of wine littered the table, and it didn’t matter which bottle belonged to whom, we all just shared. There was a band, and everyone gets up on the benches to sing and dance. The WHOLE place is up signing and dancing together.
We must’ve had too many people on the bench we were on because all of the sudden is went crashing to the floor. John made a bet with someone that he’d get another bench. There was NO WAY this was possible, the whole place was jam-packed – no empty benches to be found anywhere.
John returns like ten minuets later with a bench and won us $100! He told us he went outside to a bunch of teenagers and told them he needed the bench “NOW” (in his rough Army tone) and they needed to get up “NOW” … thus he came back with a new bench.
We just had so much fun that night. It was great to celebrate life & wine in the same spot … what more could we ask for?
