We assembled at the Kwik trip on corner of Cty road Q and Water Wheel Street in Waunakee (note the address as there are 3 Kwik Trips in Waunakee) where Greg and Cindy Garnett, hosts, met us early on Saturday for a meet and greet and a short driver's meeting. The sky was overcast, the air breezy, the temperature, a balmy 68 degrees. With tops down, we headed for our day on windy, twisty roads where all 16 cars and 22 participants had the most enjoyable time under lush green canopies and open sky views. It was an official Miata drive - yep, we had a U-turn. Our first leg of the ride found us ending up at Windy Hills Winery (former known as Weggy's) located outside of Richland Center around 11:15 AM. Collen Halverson, owner, had the "shed" reserved for us with picnic tables (we brought our own lunches as there are no eating places out there) and they set up our own tasting bar, where we could just taste to buy, or have a glass of their new varieties, or some of the old Weggy's wine recipes. A vino party for us all and a leisurely lunch time with perfect weather!
    The second leg was a short drive, about 40 minutes away to Spurgeon's Winery outside of Muscoda. We sped our way there observing the wild flowers of summer along the roads - White Queen Annes Lace, yellow and violet flowers and lots of orange Day Lilies. We even saw the perfect 'redneck' crushing his aluminum can with his truck in the driveway! Many comments were made about how tall and green the corn fields were (we've had a lot of rain these last few weeks). We spent about an hour or so browsing the store and tasting their great wines.
    We then set out for the last leg of the ride wandering as the roads led us through beautiful scenery, great Miata roads and sunny skies. The last winery visited was Wollersheim Winery and Distillery outside of Sauk City. The members spent about an hour or so enjoying the World-Famous Wines on the gorgeous bi-level gardens that adorn the hillside outside of the winery front doors. Phillipe, owner, came and talked to several of the members while they enjoyed their glasses of wine, telling them he was happy to see them at his winery.
    Last stop, Green Acres Super Club, just 3 miles from the Wollersheim winery where we all relished either, huge prime rib, 2 large pork chops, jumbo shrimp, or chicken breast dinners. Everyone went home full from that feast! A big thank you, Greg and Cindy Garnett for a fantastic driving event and tour! It was their first time hosting an event for BMC. Thanks also to Jim L our sweep, Henry N our middle car; Cindy G and our newest member, Jill J, for taking pictures.
