historical geeky-ness pays off

I'm contemplating a "fake America" dinner in reference to the Palinites and in which I will veganize some cherished southern recipes. Searching for Jefferson's mac & cheese recipe, I found this announcement on the Monticello Web site:

"Mar. 20, 2010 Starting a Vineyard Workshop Gabriele Rausse will lead this two-hour workshop in the Monticello vineyards. He'll discuss the basic principles of grape growing -- variety and site selection, trellis systems, soil preparation, planting, pruning, pest control, and harvesting -- and provide beginning grape growers a foundation in serious viticulture. Reservations required; call 434-984-9880. Meets at the Jordan Classroom in the Thomas Jefferson Visitor Center and Smith Education Center, 9:30 a.m. $10."

Perfect timing, eh? Anyone is welcome to come with, but when you consider that I need to leave by 6:30 am on Saturday, I'm sure you'll much prefer having me tell you later how it went.
