Wander around the Kartoffelfest (Potato Festival) in Dahlem and you can buy potatoes of many varieties, of course, but also all kinds of special cheeses, sausages, herbs, wine, and handmade crafts like these baskets. Lots of free tasting going on, and of course you could buy your lunch. Half the people walking around were eating a wurst of some kind. The wine that seemed to be a hot item was something called Federweisse from the Rhein Hessen area. It's an early harvest wine that packs a punch, apparently. Higher in alcohol content than most, and you have to drink it soon after it goes into the bottle. We decided to spend our coins on some 'Schafskaese mit Basilikum' (sheep's cheese with basil, for Lucy) and Honig Wein (a kind of mead, for Richard).
