FREE EVENTS FOREVERYONE

It’s a good year for free things to do.I am surprised by how manytownships in Southern New Jerseyare putting together “movie nights”and festivals at little or no cost foradmission.With many people feeling thepressure from the bad economy, it istougher than ever to find things todo. We must remember thatspending time with our loved ones,friends, and families is the mostimportant and rewarding thing wecan do.Take advantage of the many freeevents available. Take a date,girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, orwife to the free jazz concerts on thebeach in Atlantic City. Stroll throughthe farmer’s markets in Atlantic Cityor the Camden Waterfront. Many ofSouthern New Jersey wineries havefree tastings and will let you walkthrough the vineyards.Check with your township to seewhat free events they are hosting orplanning. Many have free movienights with an emphasis on familymovies. In this issue of the SocietyPage we have listed some in AtlanticCity. Galloway Township also hasmovie nights and even offersdiscounted tickets to theme parks forresidents of Galloway.In August, almost every town hostsits “National Night Out”. In manytowns this is a big event with a largeassortment of vendors and things forthe kids to do.Of course, as a car nut, I have tomention that if you like cars, mostcar shows are free to spectators anddisplay many great antique cars,muscle cars, and hot rods. Evensome townships host car shows.Some of those are Hammonton,Burlington, and Merchantville.Merchantville’s car show is thisSaturday, July 14, with hundreds ofcars, 9 DJ’s, and an Elvis show. Theyalso have a rock-wall, moon-bounce,hula hoop & limbo contest, andpetting zoo. That’s a big car show.It’s also a great way to draw businessto their business district but youdon’t have to spend any money tohave a great time.Times are tough for a lot of peoplebut luckily, there are quite a fewpeople working hard to make surethere are still things that you can dofor free. Make a plan to take yourfamily out to one of these events andshare some quality time together.

This week’s beer is AllagashWhite. From Portland, Maine, thisBelgian Witbier is one of the bestof its category for domesticallybrewed beer. It pours a cloudy yel-low, due to the unfiltered wheat,with a white, foamy head. It hasan extremely drinkable sweet cit-rus, clove, and coriander flavor thatgoes down just as smoothly as ithits the tongue. For those unac-customed to unfiltered wheat beer,do not shy away from Allagashbecause of the cloudiness. On awarm day, one of these served witha lemon wedge can be the mostrefreshing beverage choice.

Gentleman…StartYour Engines!!!!!

What goes best with Porsches, Ferrari’s, Aston Martins, Lamborghini’s, Corvettes, Vipers, AMG’s and ahost of other exotic cars? Well…..fine wine of course! And the newest premier exotic car rally on theeast coast of the United States brings them together like nowhere else.

It began as an idea to bring the charm and class of legendary car events, like those from the ItalianCountryside and the South of France, to the shores of the United States. This idea grew from a thoughtand dream to a reality because of the vision of one man and his wife. Chuck Knutson, of KnutsonPublication fame, with the help of his wife and partner, Jamie Knutson, took their passion for exoticcars and fine wines and set out on a mission. “The East Coast of the US, particularly the growing wineindustry in Southern New Jersey, has so much to offer, why can’t we have a premier event just like theyhave in Europe? The answer is we can!!!!” Chuck Knutson means what he says and says what hemeans.

Welcome to the Vigneto Rally.

When Exotic Car Resource heard about the Vigneto Rally, we jumped at the chance to be part of theinaugural event. So, ECR entered the rally as a participant to fully appreciate what this new premierrally would be like from the driver’s seat. Piloting a classic Ferrari, I was in the mix while other not solucky ECR staffers had to tag along to take photos and get the outside perspective. For me, as the pilotof the ECR Ferrari, I had to suffer along for the sake of good journalism. Sometimes this job is veryhard.

Arriving at the start of the rally, the New Jersey Motorsports Park, I was greeted by the fleet of attendeeexotics, which included nearly every type of exotic car you could drool over. Italy, Germany andAmerica were all well represented. It was a sight to be seen as they all lined up and let the morning sunglisten off their perfect finishes.

After admiring each other’s cars and getting to know one another, all the attendees were summoned tothe NJMP Officers Club area for a greeting and introduction. At this time, Chuck Knutson welcomedthe group and set the stage for the day’s event. Soon thereafter, the Mayor of Millville (NJMP’s homecity) Tim Shannon helped us get ready to “start our engines”. A Champagne toast, and off we went tothe cars.

The next phase of the Rally led us on a five lap trip around the Thunderbolt Raceway at NJMP. Seeingso many exotic pieces of art lap the professional course was a dream that could not be broken with anysize pinch. This was a great start to a great day.

After making our racetrack debut, it was out of the park and on to the road.

Once on the road, the drive was awesome. A convoy of exotic cars made their way along some of themost beautiful roads Southern New Jersey has to offer. The first twenty minute driving leg was fantasticand all the drivers were clearly enjoying sharing the road with other rolling works of art.

When we arrived at our first stop, the Coda Rossa Winery in Franklinville, NJ, we were greeted by awonderful vineyard set in the countryside of southern New Jersey. This quint vineyard welcomed therally with open arms and wine tastings that showed off the quality of their hard work. The attendees gotfull access to all the vineyard had to offer while enjoying conversation with new friends.

After about an hour of living the life of relaxation, it was back to the cars for some more spiriteddriving through the countryside and on to the next stop.

Arriving at the Bellview Winery we find another beautiful vineyard reminiscent of the Californiawineries, minus the mountains. More of the same….relax, meet wonderful people and enjoy the view ofthe vineyard and exotic cars.

After another hour or so, off we went. Once again following the route which leads us through thebeautiful town of Hammonton, NJ where Main Street was lined with people awaiting the arrival of theexotic car rally. As we passed through Hammonton, the people cheered on the drivers and snappedpictures of the rare hardware.

After the “parade”, another scenic ride leads us to the rallies next stop, the Valanzano Winery. Thissprawling winery is beset by waterfalls and a rustic old school style dining hall. All rally attendees onceagain got to taste the wine and tour the facility, which was impressive to say the least.

A short while later, it was off to the final stop of the day….the Renault Winery located In GallowayTownship, NJ.

The drive to Renault was the best driving leg of the Rally which brought us through Southern NewJersey’s finest country side. Lakes, Blueberry Fields and open plains of farm land only interrupted by awinding piece of roadway, custom made for a Sunday drive in a fine automobile. What a blast!!!

When we arrived at our final stop at Renault Winery, all the cars were given VIP parking for an end ofthe day car show. Spectators got to see these beautiful machines with the backdrop of Renault; whichcan only be described as stunning.

While the cars relaxed, the owners did the same in the Renault Grand Ball Room where a chef preparedsix course meal was offered up and enjoyed by all.

At the end of the day, the rally participants were called up to the stage to receive a gift basket filled tothe top with wonderful mementos.

Once everyone was full on great food, it was time to head for home to put the car to bed and re-live theday’s events. I know that I spent many hours afterwards enjoying the memories of the day and lookingforward to the next Vigneto Rally. Events such as this are rare in our neck of the woods. Bringing theexotic car community together for such a fine event is a site to behold and one to remember for alifetime.

So, If you are an exotic car lover and have ever dreamed of experiencing the historic rallies andconcourse events we all read about in Europe; dream no longer. Come to the Vigneto Rally andexperience it first hand, right here in the good ole’ U.S of A. Chuck Knutson made the dream a realityfor all of us. Thanks Chuck…..I look forward to seeing you there next year.
