4th Annual 2013 "Dan's Drive" Monterey Historics Fun Wine Run to Hahn Winery 8/16!!!!

[porschecab]

Welcome back to those that have participated in years past and welcome to those that have not.

The 2013 run is just weeks away now - so best get this up and running. This serves as the 4th year in a row we have done this drive, increasing car counts to close to 35 cars last year.

In 2011 we had folks participate from PA and in 2012, two guys drove down from Washington to go with us! I believe both PA and WA will represent again in 2013.

This is a fabulous drive to and from Hahn. Wayne was so kind to start this in 2009 and I have tried to keep it going since. The drive has grown each of the past three years and expectations of this years drive being the largest.

A bit of history on the drive:
In 2010 the 2nd Annual Pelican (which is what it was called then) drive was cancelled. I thought I would continue the drive that was so much fun. Let me be clear, this is not a Pelican sponsored event - rather something I have organized for us to enjoy! There is enough room for about 40 cars - so please email me directly (and post here so others will know) at porschecab AT comcast DOT net so I can keep a tally. Yes, non-Porsche cars are also welcome (calling Mini Cooper participant).

The drive will be Friday, August 16th, 2013. We will meet at 8:15/30AM at Safeway (same parking each year - address below) and the drive will be the same journey as each of the years, commencing at the lovely Hahn Winery. It is a spirited drive through the backcountry of Monterey, ending up at the picturesque Hahn Estates Winery. The roots of the Hahn Estates Winery date back to the Hahn family’s European heritage. It is a fantastic drive and those that went in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 had a blast and those that missed it, well, missed it.

I have worked with the wonderful folks at Hahn and have made some special arrangements to use the tasting room - parking lot - tables - etc. There are several picnic benches and such for all of us to use, but we will have to bring our own food & drinks.

COST = $10.00, which goes to cost of wine tasting. I have guessed at the number or tasters and paid for 30 of us. Please contact me via email so I can keep you on an email list for updates, changes, and tally.

Attached is the route and details.

Several of us will plan on being there at 8.00/8.15 with a departure (after buying sandwiches at Safeway) around 9.15. There is a gas station at the same shopping center, but I would strongly suggest filling up PRIOR to departure - not during. You won't catch up.

Start:
Safeway Parking Lot
104 Mid Valley Center
Carmel, CA 93923

Finish:
Hahn Winery Estates
37700 Foothill Road
Soledad, CA 93960

This is what happens when grown men get to the track - gas and oil smells will do this:




The following pictures are all good reasons to carry a full tank of gas, AAA card, a plethora of tools, and good ole fashioned green cash.
