By Sam Landis,

I am writing this as I am embarking on a 10 day road trip vacation. I think what I like about driving is the control. You can pack (overpack) your own car. You can stop where you want, when you want and how you want. If there is a winery, brewery, world's largest ball of yarn en route you can pullover and take in the sights. I'll never forget our trip last year where we pulled off the "main road" in Kentucky to go see a house that Abraham Lincoln may or may not have grown up in....they admitted that in small print.

I think I enjoy these trips this time of year so much because when I get home the proverbial poop is about to hit the fan and we just get to see what Mother Nature gives us. People ask me all the time how the year looks and does this weather help you or hurt you. Right now our vineyard is looking as good as it has in probably the last 30 years. But that could all change in the next 8 weeks, which is the absolute most critical part of the year for any east coast winery.

So I'm going to enjoy my control for the next 10 days while I still can, and if I want to pull over and see the Worlds largest cherry pie pan in Michigan, no one can stop me.
