READ NOW: Sept. 18th - Drive to a friend's winery

Is there any interest for a drive out to my friend's winery? He opened an "urban winery" out in Perry this summer. I still have to get more details. Just wanted to see who is interested first.

MORE DETAILS!!!:

My friend Ben opened an "Urban Winery" in Perry over the summer. It is a perfect place to start or end another Mini event possibly next spring. To get us introduced to him, we talked about having us meet there this Saturday at noon. Wellzy suggested meeting at the Reider's Market in Concord at 11am and then heading out for a hour drive and ending at the winery.

Planned on leaving from Reider's at 11am - 7596 Fredle Dr, Painesville, OH 44077
ending at The Bene Vino's Winery's - 4199 Main Street, Perry, Oh 44081

Not just for Minis, all are welcome!!!

PM me if you need more info than just this

Vroom vroom,
Kim

I'll see if it's available at work so I can request it off, but I'd be down. Our winery drives seem to be very fun and successful. And not horizontal.

Did not think it appropriate to have an event on 9/11.

I'm up for it BUT

they've torn up the driveway at my crib and I haven't had the Lotus out in 9 days and don't know if they'll be done by saturday. I've been parking my truck down the street every night and it sucks!

If you can't get the Lettuce out and don't want to take the truck, I can give you a ride. Give me a call.

Tried to make it!!

Driveway wasn't ready yet so I thought I would just drive on the grass. I left to go to the 9:00 AM "Cars n Coffee" downtown for a while then planned to head east and meet everyone. When attempting to go on this "field trip" I drove over the small rise of dirt where my bushes and a tree are, bottomed out and got stuck!!

I tried rocking back and forth but I wasn't going anywhere! My son came over and helped "dig" me out but by then it was too late to go anywhere.

I now I can't even get back in my garage till they open the driveway up!

Another notch in my "bad decisions" belt.
