April 11, 2024,🚴‍♀️ zur Madenburg und Weinprobe 🍷🍇

Since the weather is forecast to be "great" for the next few days, we went to the Palatinate - there's always something there: so up to Madenburg 🏰 and then a wine tasting 🍷 - with lard bread from the (winemaker) grandma 👵.
Super delicious..... best weather..... beautiful (wine) region.
