There is a huge brick grill, and plenty to see and do, it's a beautiful place. Free wine tastings for the driver +1. Getting home is a breeze as the back way out of the winery is just a mile or so from Rt 66.


Cruise Details: Meet at 10:45 AM
Meeting point is the Lansdowne Town Center - at the intersection of Winmeade Drive and Town Green Drive. There is a very nice grassy area with a stage, park behind or around there. Starbucks is on the corner - grab a coffee and wait for the crew. There is a gas station there also. This is a pretty new complex, so Google Starbucks for your own best route getting there. We will depart around 11:20. Cruise route will be provided.

Looks like fun. Please send me a copy via email and I will forward it out. Cut and paste of the forum probably won't format correctly.

 

[Ken Lally]

Bump, one Month away!

 

[ViperJohn]

Bump for a copy via email to send out........

 

[VAViper]

I'm in guys.....

 

[mangle]

I'm tentatively in.

 

[Ken Lally]

Bump - two weeks! Did I mention the free booze?

We have either Sat or Sun to choose from, so most likely this will be a good weather event....

 

[ViperJohn]

How we lookin' so far?

 

[VAViper]

How many do we have rolling so far....

 

[Ken Lally]

Count is hard to determine, I think aro 8 so far who have indicated they are going. If the weather is good I am sure there will be several more from the West who just show up at the winery. I'd like to see min 10 cars, hoping for 20. The Vette guys got rained out and resheduled for the week after us at the same winery, so we need a good showing to be able to come back again.

Everyone likes wine and cheese

 

[VAViper]

It's ok to have cheese with your wine but not wine with your cheese..

If the weather is nice, I'm in.

Update:

Too early to tell at this point with the weather. Roads (and grassy areas at the winery) really need to be dry for this event. The good news is we have Sunday as a backup if Sat does not work out.

Watch this thread for status....

Event Cancelled.

La Grange Cruise and winery visit CANCELLED - due to inclement weather.

Sorry folks

 

[ViperJohn]

Ken,

I will send out to membership in a few minutes. Sorry the weather wouldn't cooperate. I also sent you the calendar for the year, so hopefully we can try to squeeze back in. Maybe in the fall?
