We are doing our third wine run!

Sept. 20th, Sunday 10:am
Wine Tasting at Palaia Vineyards in Highland Mills, NY , and NY's oldest winery, Brotherhood in Washingtonville, NY.
Sorry 21 and older only for this run as children are not allowed in the tasting room at Palaia.
http://www.brotherhoodwinery.net/index.html and http://www.palaiavineyards.com/

We start at 10am and will meet at 2 stops along the way. The first meeting place is Edgewater Commons 495 River Road, Edgewater NJ 07020 by the McDonalds
There is a McDonalds and Starbucks in the shopping center if you need food and or java! There is a gas station right at this light also. We leave here at 10am sharp (I will be there from 9 am until 10 am).

Second meeting place at about 10:40 is: Nyack Hot Bagels & Deli in the HUB Shopping Center 320 Route 59
Nyack, NY 10960
This is a smaller parking lot we'll find each other. Departing 11:30 sharp!
This is where I am getting breakfast and my lunch to bring and eat at Brotherhood since neither winery serves cafe style food. Although Palaia has a light fare such as cheese & crackers, Chocolate,fruit & breadsticks. I will be bringing cheese & crackers also to eat at Brotherhood for all of us. Check the map for the route please... There is a gas station by Brotherhood also if you need gas for the ride home.

Hi Mote,
I reviewed your pictures from the last wine run and the videos look great. I just checked with "The Boss" and she said we can go, so count me in.

 

From the pictures it almost looks like you were there! Maybe "ButterCup" will come again on this run and "Itsy" can meet it's twin!

 

Hee hee...yes, when I was looking at the pix I guess I wouldn't have to tell you that I expanded all the images of the Liquid Yellow Mini. It has much nicer paws than mine, although I have to tell you that I've been looking at replacing my rims with white ones similar to "ButterCup's". Those video's are just awesome. I called my wife over to view them with me and told her that the next time they have a wine run I want to go!

cya on Sunday.

 

Then you will love this pic we took the day she got ButterCup... P.S. She is constantly cleaning the break dust off the rims everyday!

Looking foward to meeting everyone! I will bring you a map of the route and meetup stops for the run to Perkins Sunday.

 

Wow! someone really has a knack for finding a beautiful setting for a Mini picture...that is awesome! Needless to say it's the Mini that makes it !
Hey...I have the original dull silver metal rims with the round holes in them..ugh!...and I'm out there everyday cleaning the brake dust off mine, so I might as well spiffy up his paws a little in the process if I'm going to continue with the pedicure treatments. What year is "ButterCup"? Mine is a 2004.

 

Ditto... she's a 2004!

Looking foward to meeting all of you Sunday, I will have the Go Camera Pro for some Video of the run, and the regular 35MM for out the sunroof shots

 

Great... because I'm leading and the GP has no sunroof to take pictures or video from.
See you Sunday!

 

See You guy's soon!

 

Great run today everyone, i will have some pictures and Video posted soon
Hope to see all of you in the Hamptons next weekend!!

 

+1 Jim. It was an Outstanding day...and who will ever forget the white knuckle run through the park with the switchback curves. It took me over 5 minutes to peel Dorothy's fingers off the door handle!

And Peggy if you're around, check your PM. We really appreciate all the efforts you put into this event. It was just awesome!

 

I have 3 Videos here on you tube about 9 Mins each

WOW.... Great videos! Thanks so much for driving with us everyone! Hope you enjoyed it as much as us. I will post my pics ASAP. See you all soon.

 

I'll get to one eventually, these seem to be a regular occurance. Hows the wine though? Are the bottles expensive or under 20.00 ea?

 

Steve the Wine was great and prices were not bad, I picked up 4 bottles for about 50 bucks.
The ride was really great, perfect weather, great roads and great people, and may I add some pretty impresive driving on the twisties.
Looking foward to next week in the Hamptons

 

Here is a link to the photos and the parking "mini ballet" video.

The videos JRoca took make me feel like I'm doing the run all over again

 

Your Pictures came out Great!!

 

Your very kind... The rest had to be deleted! Especially the videos. I want a mount for the camera! After all ... hubby built that nice mount for his GPS.

 

You can check out some camera stores they normally have a few mounts for the car. Mine came with the camera, its a GO Pro hero, you can check out there website

 

I had great time. picture looks great too.



btw..JRoca - do you have more info on next week? (Hamtons)

 

I will get some more information on the Hamptons run later today if I can and post it here.

 

I don't want to butt in but Sharon has been emailing me to try to help her find people that had signed up on NEMINI so I have her email for you...
seatrax@optonline.net
Also it is posted on USMINICLUB here.... http://www.usminiclub.us/index.php/topic,1025.0.html

Make sure you email her because I think it might be to late for dinner reservations, but you could still do the scavenger hunt.

 

Thanks... will do!
