“Eltville Wine Writers” is the name of the exciting, multi-year city writers’ project, which will produce three volumes of stories about wine and enjoyment, as well as regular readings.

Fourth reading with authors from the Eltville Wine Writers on the eve of the Eltville Rose Days:
– Martina J. Kohl reads her non-fiction story, “Denk ich an den Rheingau” (When I think of the Rheingau), written for the first volume of this series.
– Petra Spielberg reads a story, “Unter Rosen gesprochen” (Spoken under roses), written especially for this eve of the Rose Days.
– Karl-Heinz Behrens reads a story from the time of Johannes Gutenberg, “Todesurteil in Blei” (Death Sentence in Lead), also written for the first volume of this series.
