Grape stomping, family picnic run!

[azuul]

Okay, MINIacs, Kathy and I did some driving around the Hill Country this weekend. Here are the details for the Grape Stomping, Family Picnic MINI Run:

Date: Sunday, August 27
Time: Meet at 1:00 pm. first car out at 1:15pm
Where: Meet at the Chevron at 1604 and La Cantera Pkwy
Destination: Becker Vineyards 11 miles east of Fredricksburg

We've mapped out a 2 hour run, more or less. We should get to Becker Vineyards sometime between 3:00 pm and 3:30 pm. They have a beautiful venue. We can do some grape stomping (it's free!!), and taste some wine (that's free for most of their wines, too). Bring a blanket and your favorite picnickings.

I know this date is the weekend before the Hill Country Rendezvous, but this is the weekend of the grape stomping at Becker Vineyards.

I'll post some reminders as we get closer to the date. However, if you are ready to go run your MINI and stomp some grapes, sign up below:

1. Kathy and Mary Lou (in Ruby)
2. Steve and Don (in Azuul)

Also, remember to bring some bug spray (just in case) and sunscreen if you are picnicking, your walkie-talkie for the run. I don't know what Becker supplies after you stomp some grapes, but maybe a towel to dry your feet.

Oh yes, and bring your fun MINI spirit! See you soon! :dancing
