I would like to thank Br. John Macari for arranging this wonderful trip. A great time was had by all. We arrived at the winery at about eleven o’clock and had the opportunity to taste some fine wines. After the wine tasting we went to see the goat farm next to the vineyard and some of us bought some goat cheese. After our visit to the goat farm we had lunch. During lunch we were entertained by the music of John Macari at the guitar and the wonderful voices of his sister and brother-in-law. We had a sing-along with both Italian and American music and even some French and Spanish songs. On the way home we stopped at a farm stand and were able to purchase some delicious fruit pies.
