For those who have not joined us before, the plan is to visit a couple of wineries (one in the morning, and one in the afternoon), with lunch between.

The Summer vineyard tour is laid out and planned.
Fully detailed directions will be handed out when we meet and if anyone has the FRS hand held radios (I have three - Steve has a couple) please bring along, as I tend to give color commentary along the way, as well as calling out directions, so having one can make the drive even that much more fun.
The Plan:
Saturday, July 11th, Meet at 10, roll out at 10:30 988 East Center St. Palumbo Rail Terminal, Wallingford, CT
Our first vineyard will be Gouveia Vineyards in Wallingford, CT.
From there, we'll travel some twisty state roads into Branford where we'll then roll onto RT 146 which is a very scenic 12 mile ride along the shoreline and coastal marshes of Branford and Guilford.
We'll gather at a little marsh/saltwater river side restaurant named Pa's. I'd call their menu - Americana. Everything from Seafood to Pa's Cubano pulled pork, with a nice selection of salads for those who like that.
Our second vineyard will take us back along RT 146 and into North Branford and Rose Vineyards and for the diehards, a third vineyard, Paradise Hills to finish the day.
There are several folks registered already, please click the link to sign in and register.
Due to logistics in keeping long lines of cars (think herding Cats) manageable, I'll be keeping an eye on the number of registrants and will probably cut it off around 12-15 cars.
Fingers crossed for continued awesome weather.
