    welcome winetaster....haha plenty of places I pass that have winery tours...just don't go there in your roehl truck. pack light for your phase II and it will go quick so don't be discouraged. pay attention and ask questions, get as much info from your trainer that you can get.

    and I'm at home resting comfortably in the Michigan tundra....this winter sux and it just don't wanna quit. I launch back out friday, hopefully can make to indiana or ohio or wisconsin for some warm weather.

    ROFL! That will go over real well. Big trucker pull up in a winery in a company truck. Hop out with my flannel shirt, big boots and blue jeans on. Yell, "Hey ya'll is this here the wine drinking contest!"

    You laugh, but there is a billboard up by Green Bay that has a picture of a big dude like you described. I think it's a couple of brothers that own it or something. Pretty sure someone from that area will chime in about it.

    Camped out at the Fly'n J on I65 ex 136.

    Jeez was I65 a friggin mess this am or what? I think Scott72 said he felt the Fed Ex drivers were the absolute worst, I think there was ample evidence to substantiate that fact on I65 northbound this morning! Both pullin pups, one had its tail on its side an was facin south, the other had both pups on their side as well as the tractor. Then there was a UPS double on its side, several cars in the ditch and one car scrunched in between a PU and its 5th wheel goose neck. I think I crawled along with traffic at 5 MPH for at least 45 minutes.

    Headed into Chicago in the am then back to Ohio again! I'm hopin the roads are better tomorrow morning than they were today!

    Sitting in a dock waiting to unload in De Pere. Roads were bad heading out this morning in Bloomington. Saw a few big trucks on their sides. Out of hrs so crashing out in the parking lot here.

    I think I actually know what you're talking about, but it's been so cold I've had no desire to drive further north.
