“Join us this Saturday as we celebrate harvest, run the equipment, squash some grapes, and show you up close and in person how wine goes from grape to glass.

Thanks to the hot summer, the grapes have come in earlier this year so we’ll be making our 2012 Sangiovese this time starting around 2 p.m.  We’ll also have a sampling of different types of fresh red and white wine grapes for you to taste so you can see for yourself how unique each type tastes right from the beginning.” ~Heisen House Vineyards

I don’t know about you, but I had never heard of a bicycle race where racers rode on pavement and offroad, including obstacles that make the rider dismount and RUN WHILE CARRYING THEIR BIKE!  It’s a combination of cycling, stunt riding, carrying, running and obstacle course. And, while it sounds like a lot of fun…this gal is just gonna watch the First Annual Zaandercross. I’ll get back to you about next year.  ;-)
