yeah but the winery might not like a 700hp+ straigh pipe race car coming into their lot...lol

[DimNSlow]

They just care about how many bottles of their wine you buy

[Feffman]

Damn! Thought this may be a single barrel bourbon or whiskey tasting!

When are most of you thinking of going? The first or second weekend?

The plan is going the first weekend of March, most likely on Saturday.

[DimNSlow]

Is there a meeting place that you guys prefer? Santana Row is too far south to meet I think. I am thinking somewhere closer to the peninsula. Maybe in Foster City.

We can even meet at the Vista Point right across Golden Gate Bridge in Marin if that works with everyone.

Let me know what you guys think.

I'm personally planning on it being a day trip, and if I get too drunk I'll pass out at my friend's pad in Santa Rosa.

Good question. We have been looking into places to stay, and routes to get there and back, but any advice would be appreciated.

[DimNSlow]

Ok, please pardon the ghetto drawings I did on MS Paint, but the overall plan is to go from 101N, exit River Rd., WestSide Road/ West Dry Creek Road, to Healdsburg, down south Eastside Road to Old Redwood Highway, and end the day. Maps with my crappy drawing below...

The Pink circles are the wineries we can/should visit.

[DimNSlow]

Location: Meet at 11am, Saturday, March 3rd

Where: Vista point in Marin, first exit off Golden Gate Bridge on 101N, before the Sausalito exit.

Oh... did I mention that's $10 TOTAL for drinking as much as you want at hundreds of wineries (as long as you bring a designated driver)?

I also like to mention this won't be a super spirited drive as we will be wine tasting...

[DimNSlow]

Is there still any interest in this? Seems like the group is pretty scattered. I will still be going, you guys can PM me if you want to meet up somewhere up there. I don't want to wait forever at the visitor area of Golden Gate if no one will show up
