April 24,2012 Nashville, TN

Tuesday...This moring the temp was a little warmer than yesterday, but still in the lower 40's. Got up and started work.  Pat was perusing the pamphlets we had picked up and found a winery that was not too far away.  Upon reading the info found that this winery was co-owned by Kix Brooks of Brooks & Dunn Country Group.  The winery name is Arrington Winery in Arrington, TN.  It's about 23 miles from the south side of Nashville so took a drive.

We got a tour of the winery and were told that they sell most of thier wine directly from the Arrington Winery location.  Each weekend beginning in May they have bands that play to 1500 to 3000 people each weekend.  The winery has a large area set up with picnic tables and they encourage you to bring a picnic lunch, buy thier wine to go with your lunch and listen to free music. What a deal and a moneymaker, the marketing person definately knows what they are doing.  Of course they also have the co-owner Kix Brooks, while no longer touring, drops by the winery for frequent vistis. That will draw the people in.

Here are some pics.....

   These are roses, so beautiful.



Notice the arm hanging from the forklift, LOL

This is the WINOS cookbook "Women in Need of Sanity" and No I didn't buy it cause I'm so pulled together.  LOL

We're on our way to Athen's TN.  This will get us close to the "Tail of the Dragon" ride.  I must get a patch to go on my jacket indicating that I rode this road. It's a motorcyle thing.

Keep waching for for more pics and adventures.
