I still can’t wrap my head around what happened at last Saturday’s PCA 70th Anniversary Celebration. One minute, it was a sure disaster with our 3 run groups turned back mid-way because of an accident, and the next, a thunderous convoy of 50 Porsches arrived at Flat Creek Winery! Not only was it quite a sight to see, but the roar of the engines shook the Winery’s grapes right off their vines. And Flat Creek Winery, for that gratuitous harvesting of your grapes, HCR says, “ you’re welcome!”
