This one will probably be the last wine run before next Spring...
Ok, I've almost finished the route.... We will be meeting up 11:00am at Le Peeps in Edison where we can get a bite to eat. Then at 12:00pm sharp we head to Sourland Mountain and down to Unionville Vineyards in Ringoes NJ for a tasting. Then on to Hopewell Vineyards in Pennington NJ. I know I'm usually much better with the info right down to detailed maps and dry runs. My cousin was in a head on and I've been at the hospital every night scince last Tuesday. The address for LePeep is 561 U.S. 1 Edison, NJ. in the Wick Plaza. link to map for LePeep: http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=UTF-8...A0QngIwAA&z=16
As for the route... this is a map but...... I have to change it a little because I am told (a big Thank You to Russ)the canal bridge is pretty busy with traffic and one of the roads from Unionville to Hopwell will be tough to cross. So please make sure you look at the map again for the changes after the dry run this weekend! I usually do the runs up north and am not as familiar with south Jersey routes. So the dry run will be the best way to determine the best & most fun route. From Unionville to Hopewell Vinyards: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?oe=UT...6,0.07699&z=14 I expect to leave LePeep 12:00pm Sharp! It should take about 1hr and a half to get to Unionville Vineyards. Taste some vino (about an 45min at Unionville) then shoot over to Hopewll about 15 min give or take 5 min. Taste some more vino. We should be done by 4:30-5pm. Please be sure to have a full tank of gas and if you have a 2 way radio please bring it! In so far:

That is fine, just wanted to know where we were starting and a general time that we would be finished is all. Thanks for your hard work in setting this up.

No Problem Mike,
I am getting my head back into this as she just made it through the last of 3 surgeries with flying colors...WHEW The map is not co-operating today with me however. But I think we can figure out how to get on 287 from LePeep pretty easily.

Glad to hear things are going well for you. I am recovering from surgery and have been out of it for a few days myself. I am looking forward to this run, sounds like fun and gives me a few ideas and places to go that I may not have gone myself.

Once again, it looks like you have been doing your homework picking out the roads. I just checked out your maps and it looks like a nice run. Dorothy and I will definitely be there, it's just not clear if we will be able to meet your departure from LePeeps in time. I have your cell, so I can check in as the meeting time arrives. If we miss the departure, we'll try and catch you on the road...I'll put some High Octane in Itsy.
On a downward note...I had the NOAA radio on for my trip home from work...I will say no more.....shake those Mojo bones babe!

So the dry run will be the best way to determine the best & most fun route.
We should be done by 4:30-5pm.
