After visiting Brassfield Vineyard and Ceago Vineyard the group settled in for the night at Robinson Rancheria Resort & Casino, Tallman and Featherbed Railroad. The group enjoyed dinner at the Boat House and the Blue Wing.

The group was impressed with the beauty of Lake County and how friendly the residents of the County were to them, and would like to extend their appreciation to all the business that were visited.
