Saturday, April 15 was forecast to be a 90° day, but it dawned cool and cloudy. The Georgetown All British Squadron soldiered on to their early morning rendezvous at the Williamson County Courthouse to show their cars at the monthly show. Six CCMGC members showed up with their MGs. After the show, the gang took off for brunch at the Simmer Down Café. While brunch epitomized the slow food movement, the group carried on chatting about their past, current and future adventures.
By the time breakfast finally ended, the clouds had burned off and the sun had asserted itself. The group took off on a circuitous route up on the way to Bertram, enjoying many picturesque country roads. Our destination was Bertram, where we were headed to Flanigan’s, a winery / distillery housed in historic stone and brick buildings.
The tasting room and bar are inside a converted lumber office and showroom. The extensive refinishing gives the building the feeling of an old, grand hotel. We were treated to an entertaining education in the art of tasting wine by the owner, Kevin Flanigan. Everyone enjoyed the tasting and the excellent food being served, and we look forward to stopping in on our next trip to Bertram!
