Let me help you improve your Jewdar:
Vayntrub = yiddish/slavic spelling of Weintraube (German for grape)
Jewish surnames are almost always derived from objects or locations (Berg, Stein, Baum, etc.), whereas German surnames are usually derived from occupations (Müller, Schneider, Fischer, Weber, Schmidt).
Berg = Mountain
Stein = Stone
Baum = Tree
Müller = Miller
Schneider = Tailor
Fischer = Fisherman
Weber = Weaver
Schmidt = Smith
Since Yiddish is derived from German, having a decent knowledge of the language is basically a superpower when it comes to noticing.

Yes, they are basically just speaking a dialect of German but writing it with Hebrew letters
