Going to have to pass this time due to a trip to Pacific Grove but I hope to
join you all for a repeat one of these days. I will post a trip to Berryessa
and Winters in Spring.

Subject: [Nobbc] UPDATE Champagne! 2nd Annual NOBBC Valentine's Day Tour
Dear NOBBC friends,
>From the responses, it looks like we're going to have a big turnout, and
some
fun cars on Sunday! The original announcement is below.
I drove Sweetwater Springs rd yesterday and it is the kind of road for which
British sports cars were made! It's only 10 miles but took me 30 minutes.
It's
a one lane road for much of its length.
The rain gods are with us. The forecast shows no rain this weekend, and
temperatures in the upper 60s.
I'll have fresh baked croissants and coffee on the patio at 10 am. Remember
to
park your car snug against the next car forming a circle on the gravel in the
back of my house. If someone else can play parking attendant and/or
photographer I'd be grateful, so I can attend to everything else. We'll leave
at 10:30, and should be at Armstrong Redwoods by 11:30. I have route maps
printed out for everyone.
We'll need to keep our stroll in the redwoods brief, so we can all be at
Korbel by 12:15 for our private tour and tasting.
See you Sunday!
Dawson
Hi NOBBC Friends!
We're going to have a fabulous ride on Feb 14th, and the long range weather
forecast suggests that the rain gods will be bypassing us that day.
Korbel Champagne Cellars (a 100 + year old champagne maker in Guerneville) is
going to host us for a private tour and champagne tasting. They make award
winning Chardonnay Champagne, Pinot Champagne, and many other varieties, and
the history of the whole bay area wine region is displayed in their cellars.
We'll gather at my house at 10 am for coffee and croissants. We'll park in a
big circle, like last year, so we can photograph all the cars nose out. My
address is 1490 Mark West Springs Rd, Santa Rosa, CA 95404. The driveway is
on
your right, about 2 1/2 miles east of 101, between a big yellow 1490 mailbox
and a street sign that says "Michelle Way."
We'll leave around 10:30, and drive Sweetwater Springs road, one of the most
gorgeous roads in the north bay. We'll stop at Armstrong Woods redwood state
park to stretch our legs at the end, and take a brief stroll among the giant
redwoods, the tallest of which is over 2,000 years old, and over 300 feet
high.
Then we'll drive on to Korbel for a 12:30 tour and tasting. Korbel has a
gourmet deli at which you can purchase food, or you can bring your own.
Don't forget this is a great opportunity to introduce newcomers to the club,
and to show off our cars at some public venues. So invite your friends to
ride
along!
See you on Sunday!
Dawson
