Rednecks
and Red Rhônes
- the Daytona 500 paired with the likes of Chateâuneuf du Pape and
St. Joseph, as
unlikely a combination as could be imagined by most motor sports fans or
wine aficionados, but it all makes perfect sense to a group of Dixie
yahoos who have a hankering for the roar of the speedway and the fruit
of the vine. These
people know all about the drivers, they know all about the cars, they
know all about the crews, some of them even admit with pride that, hell
yes, they drink Miller Lite
® and they
like it! Many thanks to Greg and Tami for once again opening their house to host this great gathering of oenophiles, gourmands and grease monkeys. A triple thanks to Michael, Boyce Brannock, Bob Cuozzi and Steve South for tossing in several vintages of legendary First Growth Chateau Haut-Brion, both Blanc and Rouge, and other delights as well. An extra special thanks to Boyce (left), the weekend's elected scribe for providing such excellent coverage of both Saturday night and Sunday's festivities for these pages and Steve for picking up an idle camera here and there to take some terrific photos.
