The 3rd annual Cooper Vineyards MINI drive and wine tasting will be held on Saturday March 25, 2006. Should be another good time . Details to come later.

If anyone has comments or suggestions for the event or feedback from this year's event, post 'em here.

 

This is just under 3 weeks away! We had a huge turn-out last time, and it's time to get out and have some fun!

RiverCityMINIs will be coordinating a meet-up, similar to last time, and once it's ironed out, we'll post the details here.

Come on out and join us for some tasty Cooper wine, live music, and grub! (Hopefully they'll have some more sangria--yum!)

Tickets are available through www.coopervineyards.com, and are $10 in advance, $15 at the door.

 

Ahamos, I believe I saw the last one on DCMM. I happened to stumble onto this one. If you would like, I can post a message with the link to this on DCMM for you.

 

That would be great; thanks!

 

Will do Here is the link: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=62988

 

You all wouldn't mind another MINI from down here in Blacksburg attending would you?

It's a little further drive from here...but then that's the point isn't it

 

come on down enjoy the day with us......

 

We have directions and a map! I'm waiting for confirmation on hosting the directions sheet, but here's the map:

I'm trying to plan a caravan to meet you guys at your meet-up point, for us DC-metro types... But it's 3 days until the event, and you've not said where or when you're meeting yet.

 

Oh, sorry. I for some reason thought I had. Big egg on my face.

We're meeting at Bruster's Ice Cream at 9:30am, same as last time:

9101 Staples Mill Rd.
Richmond, VA 23228

 

who all is going from DCMM?

 

trying to find a place to stay Saturday night...

 

I've been a huge butt about getting information posted.

Here's the route-sheet we'll be using tomorrow.

Here's the map to which the numbered instructions correspond.

I hope everyone's excited about this (and again I apologize for the poor planning)! Remember to buy your tickets on-line and bring your receipt.

 

I'm still on the fence ... I have to bring CTD (cooper the dog) with me and I'm not keen on leaving him in the car while we're in restaurants and marketplaces... any suggestions?

 

There are no restaurants or any indoor facilities to worry about. Last year we had the entire event on the lawn, and there were a couple of dogs wandering around.

I would suggest contacting the winery to see if they're ok with others bringing dogs, but it's a bit late.

I really don't think Cooper would be a problem, though.

 

Thanks for coming! It was good to see you guys again; sorry we didn't get to chat more.

Hopefully next time we'll be a little better coordinated, but it was quite fun.

 

It was a bit more reserved than last time... I wonder if thats because last time there was an actual food vendor at the vineyard, and the wine was outside in more like a serving line...

Anyhow, me and the misses had fun, and you can find our pics of the event here:

Is there anything going on in the Forums about Cooper Winery for this year, 2007? I know it is in July this year and that is not too far away.

 

Here is the thread. I rarely put any info in this fourm, so keep checking DCMM.
