NEO Nazi’s Winery in Alsace, France
A post by a friend who recently had an unsettling experience in Alsace, France in the vicinity of Strasbourg.
What happened would make the hairs on your arms stand up at attention. The only difference was that the hairs couldn’t talk or shout SIEG HEIL! Yes, boys and girls, neo-Naziism is alive and well in Alsace. The only trick is knowing where and what to avoid.
We started out on a cloudy ,overcast day with the goal of purchasing some exquisite Alsatian Wines and were at the same time doing market research about possibly exporting wines to America. The vineyard in question and its village was discovered when we accidently encountered a traveling wine salesman who was trying to hit on a modest pension in a crumbling Alsatian village with the remnants of a ruined castle.
Like the witch in Hansel and Gretel, the old crone man with the hatchet face gave us a brochure with the prices and the location of the vineyard. The wines were very cleverly described as to aroma, bouquet etc. And the prices were really reasonable. A phone call to the vineyard in advance resulted in a time for meeting and tasting.
The owner of the vineyards name was “Damien” (Like in the Omen). Much laughter and merriment was made of this fact on the journey to the vineyard which was mirthfully named the Satanic Vineyard. Looking at my guide to Alsace, I discovered that the population of the village was 666. Mark of the Beast! The entire village had a creepy pallor as though it were enveloped in a fog. Not one shred of Christmas decorations were in evidence although the Alsatian Christmas season was already in full swing. .
A ferociously barking dog greeted their arrival (Cerberus ?) as we were suspiciously and reservedly invited into the Winestube for tasting. After a lively conversation in German and French about wines and the Americans appreciation for fine wines, the pros and cons of Affiliate Programs, drop shipping, tax advantages of both systems, we were without warning told that there was no interest and to get out NOW.
We were forbidden to pee in the bathroom. We were then followed out to their car and the owner of the vineyard menacingly told them never again to appear in THIS REGION and if they did he would pass the information on to others his Nazi friends.
The strangest part of all was in parting he told us “You know exactly why I ask you to leave.” We dont’ have a clue why we were rushed out, however we had our suspicions, because when we searched Google for “Neo-Nazis in Alsace”. Seems that its alive and well in parts of Alsace. FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED.

I never realized there were any there. In fact, I never even thought they were in Germany. I just figured it was a white trash offshoot and cure for boredom.
What is the name of the Winery? I want to buy some French-Nazi wine.

Why Rich Right Wing American Republicans Should Retire In Alsace
A friend went to Strassbourg last weekend to visit some old friends who do live in Strassbourg and who do have functioning brain cells.
They told him that out in the little villages many of whom are raisin farmers (don’t ever get the idea that all raisin growers are millionaires like in Sonoma California or Napa Valley California) the right wing crap of the French rant and raver ultra right politician Le Pen is supported by about 40 percent of all Alsatians.
Would be a great place for right wing Republican Americans to retire : there is a similarity of thought process : No foreigners unless they are white and rich, no jews, no blacks, no Arabs etc.
But Goddamn those peasants can cok like nobodys business and their pastries are scrumptous.
