A final group of 23 cars (22 Mustangs and one Galaxy 500) made the short cruise to the vineyard from Riverhead. The rain held off all afternoon and it proved to be a very enjoyable and relaxing day with the members enjoying each other's company, the winery tour and wine tasting provided by the vineyard and lunch provided by the club. Unfortunately the trip home proved to be a wet one as everyone heading west ran into the rain at about exit 68 of the LIE. But a good time was had by all! (click here to view photo gallery)
