The Cheese to Wine to Wings Run
Saturday, April 25
Sonoma
Wayne and Janet Veatch invite the MG Owners Club and the Sorry Safari Touring Society to join them for a tour from the Sonoma Cheese Factory (at the north side of Sonoma Plaza) to Jonesy’s Famous Steak House at the Napa Airport, by way of a twisty, scenic route and the Gustavo Thrace wine tasting room in historic downtown Napa.
We will meet at the Cheese Factory around 9:30 am for no-host coffee and tea then depart at 10:00 am, in a westerly thence northerly direction, to downtown Napa. After tasting, we’ll take a different, “southern”, roundabout route to the Napa Airport. There will be no charge for the tasting, but don’t get too carried away! For those not into wine tasting or having an interest in exploring, the tasting room is across the street from the new Oxbow Public Market. There is a large adjacent lot for all of us to park together.
Bring a fun car and expect fine weather! If you fear rain or cold weather, bring one with a top, wipers, and heater. Enjoy the day with Wayne and Janet, their MGB, your good friends, and their fine cars.
We must give the tasting room and Jonesy’s an estimate of the number of people coming, so please let us know if you are coming by April 20.
Where and When: Meet at the Sonoma Cheese Factory (located at 2 E Spain St., Sonoma) at 9:30 am.
RSVP to Wayne Veatch at 415-821-1806 or veatchlaw@gmail.com.
