There's a lot of day left after 5-6, but I'll let that one slide. The two of us will be there. Oh, and Julie, too! So me, the S, and Julie. Mm-kay?

Sounds great! I live in Royal Oak and work in Southfield very close to the Berkley border; so, it's always great to meet the local S2000 owners!

I'm in! Missed last year and was bummed.

I have to admit, I was not so thrilled with the wine I bought from Chateau Aeronautique. The tour was REALLY cool, but I just warn everyone to be more judicious with the wine they by at the END of the day.

I've got to agree with Pete on Chateau Aero, we still have one bottle left, I just can bring myself to drink it.

You have a 2 year old bottle left? Of what variety?

I will say with most of these Michigan wineries, as a general rule, the wines are better when young; so, if you can't consume it or give it away in a month or two (or at least by the end of the summer) then not worth buying. That's just my two cents. I've had mixed luck with all of them...but, I favor Lone Oak. We try to limit ourselves to around 2 bottles per winery; so, I'm proabably going home with ~10 bottles in my trunk. Breanne and I can polish that off in two months easy.
