Date:  August 10, 2013

Time:  12:30

Take a ride on Hunterdon county’s winding back roads with fellow Princeton car buffs, with stops at three of the area’s wineries where tastings are available. 

We depart from the parking lot at Duke Farms (1112 Dukes Parkway West in Hillsborough, NJ.) - promptly at 12:30; the Farm Barn Café is open for those who want a pre-ride refreshment. 

We’ll visit Old York Cellars, Unionville Vineyards, Alba Vineyards, Villa Milagro and time permitting, end up across the river from Frenchtown at the Sand Castle Winery (wineries charge nominal fees for tastings).

Please RSVP to princetonareaalumni@gmail.com so we can get a count and negotiate discounted or free tastings.

Hi everyone-- I'm helping David Beck '66 put together a (free!)
wine tasting this coming Sunday, from 1-6pm at the Princeton 
Corkscrew Wine Shop. He and his wife Jeanne are in town to show 
off the latest Montebruno pinot noir from their Willamette 
Vineyard. (As an aside, I've tried it, and it's delicious!!.)
 
If anyone is around this coming Sunday between 1-6pm,
please stop by the Corkscrew (49 Hulfish St, a couple of doors 
down from Mediterra) and support a local Tiger's endeavors, 
and taste some amazing pinots while you're at it. 
 
Best wishes,
-Jane Fleming Fransson '00

President of PA3 Kristin Epstein '97 introduced the business part of the meeting and presented a brief annual report, noting that approximately 50 events were held or sponsored by PA3 during the last year. Elections were then conducted by George L. Bustin '70 for officers of the organization, in accordance with the by-laws.
