Plans are not 100% set yet, but will be by later today. I was going to PM you, Sam and Pete, as I think you are the only three arriving from the west, as I think I will modify the route. It won't be completely reverse due to the opening time of Chateau Aeronatique, but I'm thinking perhaps Lone Oak would be the first stop. Not 100% sure on this yet, but should be by tomorrow.

We are confirmed for:
(1) Lone Oak (Sorry Pete, I still like it)
(2) Sandhill Crane (with lunch in their café)
(3) Chateau Aeronautique
After that, I'm actually on the fence about whether to either:
(a) go north to Burgdorfs, or
(b) go south to Cherry Creek and then across to Pentamere
(a) has the advantage of being new
(b) has the advantage of the drive through the irish hills, and being possibly able to hit up an extra winery.
That being said, this looks like a pretty big group, and the larger the group the longer it takes at each stop, we may not be able to hit up 5 wineries even though I'm also now combining lunch with a wine stop, instead of separately as before.
