Wow, what people will do for some Meditrina around here...
Since ancient Roman times, October 11th has officially been celebrated as Meditrinalia Day. Given that we are trying to restore the Roman goddess of wine and health, Meditrina, to her rightful place in history, we planned a big party in her honor (and to celebrate the second release of our Meditrina wine) on Saturday, October 8th.
To get people in the spirit, we held a toga contest (great idea, Patty!). We gave five people white sheets and let them get creative. We asked them to keep it PG-13... and they almost did.
The were two winners, Bryan and Jen, two unrelated Meditrina and togo fanatics. Kudos go to them for letting their hair down and showing us how the Romans really do it.
Another key component to a successful Meditrinalia Day was the presence of Karen LaBonte and Mark Bernetich (Hayden's Lakefront Grill in Tualatin). Karen prepared some delicious Mediterranean appetizers and brought her beautifully- and painstakingly-restored 1947 GMC truck. Can we take a spin in that through the vineyard? Just kidding!
May the roman goddess of wine and health, Meditrina, bless you all with plenty of both!
