Green Mountain Dinner
The day started with a number of Corvettes meeting at the Double Tree in Ontario.  There was a definite chill in the air with a hint of sprinkles.  We would have had twelve shiny Corvettes had two of our members braved the elements but as usual Ansel and Merrill kept them bundled up nice and warm at home and drove their steel cars.

After everyone arrived it was off for dinner with a stop first at a local winery.

. 

Unfortunately the wine tasting was shut down which was a big mistake for the winery.  A few bottles were purchased and everyone had a chance to look around.  It was a nice visit but stomachs were beginning to grumble so it was off once more.  As it turned out we had a small run through some very nice areas with a challenging drive through the foothills and on up into the mountains.  Hmm, I wonder why Joanna was bringing up the rear.  Usually the organizer for the event leads the group.  As I was driving my steel car she probably thought I would get lost by not keeping up with the Corvettes.  Not to worry I didn't get lost and managed to hang on.  As we turned onto the bridge to get to the restaurant we found to our delight that their sign was set to greet us.  We were provided with our own parking lot which was Corvettes only, well they allowed the two steel cars as we were part of the group.  It is cold so with a mad dash to the restaurant it was time to dine and enjoy the company of all.  As it was St Patties day the featured item was corned beef and cabbage.  Green beer was available but we had plenty of wine and the food was good.  Least I forget, not everyone had corned beef as prime rib, chicken and fish were also available.  After dinner it was coffee and desert.  I very nice evening was had by all.   /Ansel
