Perseid Meteor Shower Viewing Party 2011

The evening of August 13 started out as perfect as they come; piercing blue skies, light winds and warm, “perfect evening” temperatures.  Guests began arriving at sunset and were greeted with a pour of the 2007 Meteor Vineyard Perseid. A tarot card reader sat tucked into the corner, the band played and cocktails flowed.  The second week of August witnesses one of nature’s most exciting astral spectacles of the year, the Perseid’s Meteor Shower (link to Coolsville article).  While the full moon obscured many of the streaking “stars”, everyone in attendance was witness to one unforgettable memory; the 2008 Perseid from Meteor Vineyard.

Marcy Gordon captured the evening perfectly in her  recent blog.  If I were you, I would mark my calendar for mid August 2012 now…
