You won't find my dialect anywhere, I suppose. It's called "Apetlonerisch". It's spoken by people from my village (not the young people, but those my age and older - so not even 500, I guess). 
It's a unique dialect, with double and triple vowels, impossible to write, not even with phonetic language.
When I was young, every village in my district had it's own dialect. You could tell for sure where someone came from as soon as he was talking. Most interesting fact: sometimes we could use it as a secret language, because most people don't understand it.

Hi Diane & Johanna - now you two are having quite an exchange on this topic - let me try to help (at least a little or not at all -
) - first, if you just want a term for those wood uprights, how about 'Vineyard Posts' in English - just uprights that support the horizontal lines that trellis the vines; of course, these can be made of wood but metals of various types are now often used. As to the wood, a couple of choices, i.e. pressure treated softwood, such as pine or a hardwood (e.g. oak). From the pic shown, this wood seems to be hand or machine split (i.e. rather than sawed) - not much more for me to add, so Johanna would have to visit the winery and just ask - hope that this helps - Dave

Hanukka & Thanksgiving Simultaneously!
The Jewish Holiday & Thanksgiving starting at the same time - a rarity, apparently!
Susan, my wife (ncsue here) was brought up Jewish (I was Catholic, so a mixed 'religious' marriage), but at the holiday season we do celebrate Hanukka (a little explanation quoted below from Wiki) - the tradition is lighting the candles placed on a menorah (8 plus the center 'lighter' known as the shamash - eight nights w/ 1 candle the first then one added for the remainder (takes a LOT of candles). She has collected 4 or 5 menorahs over the years (some of glass and others of pottery), but the one we use is shown below (a pic from a few years ago which I may have already posted in the past) - BUT, an article and picture in USA Today this morning (below also) reminded me of confluence of the holidays - we'll have the same menorah burning at the ending of the month!

Dave,sorry my cat was demanding attention so I missed your post ( no pun intended ) about posts was very enlightening and I will make a point of making sure Johanna will see it in the morning. I thought the wood looked like ash to me. I spent one winter helping/working for a guy who made furniture from ash wood that grew freely all over the farmland around where I and maybe where he lived! Does it look like ash at all to you? YIKES MORE anima! trouble! GOTTA GO! See ya later!
Peace begins with a smile.

Hi Diane - assume that from the first quote above, you are referring to our menorah? Yes, we look @ that as each candle is added daily - beautiful experience -
Concerning the wood, ash & oak look & mill similarly and also take finishes about the same - I've worked w/ oak for years, but have also bought ash for picture frames (actually a little cheaper in my area), so look about the same (of course, ash is GREAT for baseball bats!) - now as to the outside/bark appearance? Not sure but likely also similar from a distance, so I still cannot tell the specific type of wood from Johanna's pic, she'll have to help - Dave
That may be impossible to find out. I don't know how many families are producing wine in Apetlon, they're certainly more than 20; in addition, people own vineyards and don't produce the wine themselves but sell the grapes (my father was one of them, before he died). Also, some of the vineyards are owned by people who don't live in Apetlon.Hi Diane & Johanna - now you two are having quite an exchange on this topic - let me try to help (at least a little or not at all -
I guess "vineyard posts" will be a good term for them. They are not produced by the winery owners, but purchased. As you said, most vineyards have metal posts now.
