Friday, July 5th at Turtle Run Winery. Thinking a lot of people are off work and perhaps looking for something fun to do. I don't do this often, certainly not often enough. I think I can manage this with our awesome staff today. For anyone who asks, we'll do one of my "Critically Acclaimed" sensory analysis on how the shape of a wine glass affects the acute flavors we perceive through volumetric pressure, vapor pressure, slope, flow rate, and the subconscious responses in nanoseconds to flavor and aroma recognition due to mouth vaporization location and rate. In semi-layman's terms, I can prove there is no such thing as a red wine glass, a white wine glass, but I can prove that wine does taste different out of different glasses and your perceptive like of this glass over that glass is tied to your individually unique biology. Anyone game? Come on out today! Cheers, Jim

Gosh, I hated to cancel this one.  UGH.  I have been looking at the weather since 5:00 AM today, Sunday, and now it's 9:00.  Listened to all of the forecasts.  I sense this one persistent spot in Illinois is going to affect us around 3:30 to 4:00 PM today with a gully-washer of rain, which is not so good for the musical equipment, and if there is lightning, not so good for the patrons either.  I really wanted to hear this band! Dang it...Jim   Here we go, we have masterful band of southern/folk rock, which should be highly entertaining and will really get you going musically.  Lots of instrumentations including the electric guitar, bass, drums, acoustic guitar, sax, and an amazing fiddle, 1 lead vocal, 3 backup vocals.  This should be great! Our concerts are free and they are family friendly. You are welcome to bring food. We are normally selling grilled fare to benefit various programs from Special Olympics to Providence High School Swim and Dive. No other alcohol permitted. All concerts are outside. Wine tastings during concerts are outside. Wine can be purchased inside or outside. Cheese and crackers are available inside the winery. Grilled fare is sold on the east side of the winery behind the band. We have complimentary plastic cups. We sell wine glasses or you can bring your own wine glass. We suggest that you bring a lawn chair. Lastly, if you would like to borrow an ice bucket for your wine, great. We have them available, just please return them to the winery or the tent before you leave.   Cheers, Laura, Jim, Max, Joe, Catherine, and our wonderful staff.
