Hey guys,
I was on vacation this week, in small village Velke Bilovice on south of Moravia. It is land of wine, you can see wineries everywhere and many great producers (in fact 8 out of 10 CZ top) are in this area.
I am going there every year, becouse it is really nice area and of course, they have great wine to taste. 
This year I had my Nokia, so I made some photos.  Of course I brought a few bottles with me too.
Btw thanks for Tramin wish on other forum LeeBe.
Please look at photos from the bottom to the top - forum shows first photo as last and last as first.

| Everytime I come there I am amazed how nice and well maintained streets they have there. It may look normal for you, but here in CZ villages are usually ugly and everyone who comes there for the first time can't believe their eyes. |

Looks like you had a lovely time, and such a lovely place.
The streets are indeed very beautiful, if that were here they would be ripped up and trashed within five minutes by kids
