Hey Eddie! How about another wine tour?

I believe it's that time of year to start on plans for a wine tour here in beautiful Nor Cal. It was metioned casually at Knott's. One of the areas mentioned was the wine country in the sierra foothills. Great for Dale, Brian, Ray and the rest of us up here, but Napa/Sonoma would probably be the more popular choice.
Wherever it is, I will be happy to help in the planning.
So Eddie, what do you think?

Do you think Eddie can stop waxing his car long enough?

Easy Paul,...

If you saw the way Eddie threw his tub into turns down HWY 1, you'd know the waxing is to cut down induced drag...

For a sedate wine "tour" Eddie wouldn't need the second coat.

Brian.

Hi Terry,

My husband and I met Dale at Knott's and he talked to us about a wine run up in your area...
George and I are WINE junkies....just check out our licence plate.

Anyway,
name the place and time, and we'll drive on up!!!

Looking forward to meeting all of the guys from Northern Cal.

Hi Karon,
Andie and I are good to go any time starting in June. I'm sure we could put together a nice group up here where Zinfandel is spoken fluently!
Lets get to planning. Ray, Dale, Michael, Brian, et al? Are you in?

I live virtually across the highway from St. Francis Winery in Valley of the Moon, just west of Kenwood, on Hwy 12, near Santa Rosa. The winery is designed to replicate an old Spanish hacienda and would make for a beautiful destination or stopping-off point. Not having a car yet, I would be honored to tag along on my Honda GB500 cafe racer.

Chateau St. Jean, Kenwood, Kunde and a slew of other wineries dot this great stretch of highway. Hwy 12 connects to an even larger group of wineries in the Napa Valley via Trinity Road, a 12-mile tree-lined road full of ups, downs, sweepers and twisties and that great Douglas fir nose-candy.

Barry,
I know the area well. My brother and his partner have a place up towards the top of Los Alamos Dr.
Lot of great little wineries through that area.

Terry: I live just off Pythian Road, four miles east of Los Alamos. Since you previously gave me an invite to see your car in Grass Valley, I extend the offer for wine/brie/SF sourdough and all that good stuff the next time you take a trip over here. BTW, I still haven't seen one Speedster on the road. Must be the rainy season.

Barry

He guys,

Anyone know what dates are good?? Our son's birthday is the first weekend so 3rd or 5th weekend???

Shout out some dates....really can't wait for a new adventure.

Karon


Ps. Chili or Ribs?

Just for referance, I am off on Sat. june 4, 18, July 2, 16, 30, etc. Math majors will see that it is everyother. I work all Sunday nights. I am off on all Fridays if that matters.

How about the weekend of June 18th? And perhaps we can do a two-day event. We can do the Sonoma area on Friday the 17th, to avoid the weekend crowd, and the foothills on Saturday. That way Karon and George will take full advantage of their trek up here.

Terry, I like that Idea! Friday/Saturday is great. That also works out on a long weekend for Michele.

Hi all,

Those dates also sound good to us...I'm penciling it in now...
we'll triler the car most of the way up, then let her off in the sonoma area...

cheers,

Karon
