NEWS: Highway straight across the Mosel

What is the one thing missing from this vista?

If you said a four lane highway bridge, then please consider a job with the German government, which is proceeding with construction that will go directly over Dr. Loosen vineyards.

Well if it's just the Loosen vineyards then no big deal.

Seriously it's a bizarre and stupid plan, but there are 1,000,000 different accounts about what vineyards is will destroy/block from the sun/erode.

Ernie has obviously given up, (no wonder, he gave up making wines worthy of their great terroirs long ago), but if you find this a crying shame, you don´t have to. Write Frau Merkel a letter:

Dr. Angela Merkel, CDU/CSU MdB
Deutscher Bundestag
Platz der Republik 1
11011 Berlin

or mail her:

Or if you don´t feel comfortable writing something - preferrably in German - give me your names and I will add them to the letters I am already sending.
