One of the guys from the road show has his own parts business and deals with a lot of the race shops in the area.� He asked one day if� I wanted to go with him on a trip to Richard Childress racing.� I accepted because he offered the opportunity to go on a tour of the winery.� The winery and shop are located north of Mooresville in Welcome, NC.� The grounds of the winery are spectacular.� I never really had seen a vineyard.� It was very interesting.� The tour included the ground, the wine processing area, barrel and bottling areas.� We also saw Mr. Childress’s private wine library…and I just want you to know there are no books in his library.� After the wine tour we did a little wine tasting.� That was fun!� I then picked up a few bottles of wine and we were on our way.� Just as we were leaving a back Tahoe pulled up and who got out but Mr. Childress himself.� Apparently he like to spend as much time as possible at the winery.
