Well here I go again saying nice things about Erie Shores. No, I am not an employee of the winery but they had such a nice open house yesterday I have to commend them.
The fact that the MG club was there made it special to me. It was like a car show and party rolled into one. I have a life task to convince tso that I want/deserve/need a sports car again. I really need something cool and hopefully old. I tried to show her an MG TD and it didn't do it. The MG A went over well but hallelujah the Morgan. That lovely piece of work from Malvern Link , so gorgeous so cool and guess what??? Tso thought she would look good in one. Now I need to find/steal/make about 70k and wait 15yrs on the waiting list and I can be happy. Life is good.
Well the open house wasn't what I expected. I have been to supplier open houses before and I just used them to get out of work. This was very nice. Bbq chicken and roasted pig, salads and desert. The food was really good and plentiful. They had some very fitting music which set the scene and seemed to appeal to all. What really was nice was the buggy ride. They had a carriage that toured their vineyard. Well I'm a city boy, so being around farm animals, fields, vines was a little too much for me. Add to this that the buggy master somehow knew tso. This was getting real strange. Add to this a wonderful lady took our picture and asked an address to send a copy. Well she used to live across the street from tso and knew her grandfather very well. Talk about the six degrees of separation. I am now in the county zone, like where is rod sterling???
As this is a wine blog, the wine was fine. I felt vindicated that the rose was everywhere. People seem to really like it which is good. Prices were good and the service was really nice. The glass wineglasses were a really nice touch. Oh yes, to my trained city boy eye, it looks like a good year for grapes there and I really like that, but remember I'm an engineer and not a farmer.
Congratulations, Harvey and Alma job well done. Glad I was invited!!
Now just waiting till the next one which I have to find my invite - hope its next week as I really like these open houses. I'll report on that one too
For you, I highly recommend a British Racing Green MG A. Sporty, yet classy, but still fun. It's a nice low ride. While the Morgan is a very attractive, unique and distinctive car, the rider tends to sit a bit high, and occasionally reminds me of a little kid in one of those mini-motorized Barbie cars. The MG A can also be purchased for a reasonable price.
Well thanks again for your entertaining and informative blog! (Comment this)
