Riesling Release, Antique Airplane Fly-In Scheduled at Chateau Aeronautique

How's this for a high-flying event: An antique airplane fly-in paired with a special sampling of an acclaimed Michigan Riesling? That's what scheduled Saturday, July 10, from 12 noon to 6:00 PM at Chateau Aeronautique Winery, 1849 Rives-Eaton Rd., Jackson, Michigan (517) 569-2132. You can have a relaxing afternoon in the Hangar ~ sit back, have a bite to eat, enjoy some wine, and see rare and exotic airplanes from a bygone era flying and on static display.

Antique Airplanes will be coming and going throughout the afternoon to the delight of enthusiasts of flying machines from "the golden era of aviation." There will be a selection of delicious foods available to pair with your wine, including salmon burgers, hamburgers, and hot dogs on the grill.

As if the Antique Airplane Fly-In were not enough, there will be a pre-release party in celebration of the imminent release of the 2009 Riesling.  Limited quantities of the acclaimed 2009 Riesling will be available for tasting and purchase with a limit of one bottle per person.
