Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Crowdsourcing our Sea-to-Shining-Sea Rally: Eastern USroute

[Gary Reed (gary]

There's some mighty fine WINE being made in Walla Walla, Washington!!  

http://www.wallawallawine.com/

The northwest region FCA has had some fantastic weekend events in the area and 
a couple
of the winery owners over there are members of the club and have some great 
cars.
