Rain held off so went to a local “People’s Choice” car show fund raiser hosted by our town’s senior citizens club. No judging.
Nice turnout considering the timing. Good assortment of vehicles from a cherry Model A to the latest Corvette. Fun, entertaining, and low effort.
Got 3rd place People’s Choice, with the Model A getting first and a 1950 Ford getting second. Not bad! Great pleasure in beating THREE Corvettes, two caddies, a 65 Lotus, and a 1999 Cobra Mustang.
Prize was a nice large bottle of wine and scored in the raffle with a gift card to my favorite local sub shop!
Met several town car folks, too. Very pleasant few hours.

I always wondered if Jersey Mikes really originated in Jersey or was just a big marketing scam. Really like their sandwiches. One giant #13 as a combo and the gift card is a gonner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

My plan, precisely! #13 Mikes Way with smattering of jalapeño! My favorite!

geez mate. you are killing it at the car shows. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

enjoy the pinot n. hopefully its a good one.
my uncle pumps out a noir and a grigio from his little vineyard up near strathbogie down here. granite country. he got a wild vintage back in 2020 when we had the bushfires.
thought the smoke was going to ruin the years wine. it didn't. its spectacular. smoky flavour. just knocked off a bottle of it last week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

your "mike's" way got me curious. had to google it. another one of those specialist american sandwiches you guys are so good at. i was salivating reading the methodology and ingredients for the sandwich composition. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@wonkipop
An American sandwich take on an Italian antipasto. We pilfer again?
Does your relative export? Might like to try it. The fires in CA added a smokiness, too; worked well with the reds- no so much with the reds other than Chardonnay.

no he does not sell.
private cellar.

we all have to work to get the wine.
i was up there for the picking this year again.
he did something unusual this year which was to deprive the cockatoos of their feast with whats left on the vines. instead he kept the grigio netted and we picked a bin 4 weeks after the optimum. he and his wine maker are having a shot at desert wine.
should be fun. might work.
