• size - Sets the image size, if left out or left blank it will default to 150px.
• caption - Creates a caption for the image.
• page - is used to set the page that the business list resides on, e.g. |name=winery would set More selected foo link to look for the sub-pages at Portal:Wine/Selected winery and appear as More selected wineries.
• type - sets the type of business in the More selected foo link, in the example above the value of wineries makes it read More selected wineries. This value should always be stated in a plural form. It will default to More selected businesses if left blank or left out.
• text - A brief summary of the subject.
• link - sets the link in the Read more... that points to the full article.

Schloss Johannisberg within its vineyards

Schloss Johannisberg is a winery in the Rheingau wine-growing region in Germany, that has been making wine for over 900 years. A mountain on the north bank of the River Rhine near Mainz has been associated with the Church and with winemaking since the Dark Ages, when Ludwig der Fromme ("Louis the Pious") made 6000 litres of wine during the reign of Charlemagne. In 1100, Benedictine monks completed a monastery on the Bischofsberg ("Bishop's") mountain, having identified the site as one of the best places to grow vines. 30 years later they built a Romanesque basilica in honour of John the Baptist, and the hill became known as Johannisberg (John's mountain). It was constructed according to similar floor plans as its mother house, St. Alban's Abbey, Mainz. As such the monastery was a prime target for the Anabaptists in the German Peasants' War of 1525, and it was destroyed. (Full article...)
