New Glarus 08 - Eat, Drink and be Merry!

[RebeccaV]

Welcome to the official New Glarus weekend thread! The dates are January 25, 26 and 27, 2008 so make your hotel reservations now: Chalet Landhaus 800-944-1716. This is the second year that we will share the lovely Landhaus with the Swiss Finishing School and the hotel will probably fill so don't delay on reservations if you think that you can come. The Swiss Finishing School is a group of quilters, not a group of Swiss young women.

This will be the third year that we descend upon the unsuspecting town of New Glarus, WI to eat, drink and chase away the mid-winter blues.

Because we are boring and unimaginative and it seems to work, the format will be the same as last year: Dinner Friday and Saturday at the New Glarus Hotel Restaurant and random tourist activities in between. The weekend is intentionally loosely planned so that you can join in when and where and with whomever you want. There is a LOT to do in the New Glarus area. The last two years activities have included the Mustard Museum, shopping and brewery tours. The Sugar River Trail runs behind the hotel and has great XC skiing. A potential Saturday excursion could be the PORT RELEASE CELEBRATION at the Wollersheim Winery in downtown New Glarus: A break from Wisconsin’s winter! Join us as we celebrate the release of our Port wine. Take a behind the scenes look at the making of our Port. Sample the Port and other Wollersheim wines available for tasting and by the glass. Enjoy live jazz, light food and insights on Port from our winemaker. No admission fee. Open to the public. 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.

Disclaimer: I do not expect people to ride their motorcycles to this gathering. Ride if you want, but motorcycle crashes due to riding on icy roads will not be tolerated (we know you’re a bad-ass, you don’t have to prove it to us). The whole point of this fieldtrip is to hang out with other motorcycle enthusiasts and to enjoy lovely New Glarus, WI and its fine culinary, cultural and scenic offerings. Details are below. Eventually I will need a head count for dinner.

I really look forward to this Fish Fry – it is so freaking good. If you don’t like fish, just order from the regular menu. Plus, The Zweifel Brothers Band will be playing so bring your Polka shoes!!

After dinner let’s head over to the bar and play pool again – that was fun.

This will be party central again and is within walking/stumbling distance of everything. They have wireless internet throughout the hotel, indoor pool, hot tub, steam room, sauna and exercise room and bar and restaurant on site. More importantly, they have a nice lobby with a fireplace where we can hang out. Bring some games, beverages and snacks to share if you’d like. Hot breakfast is included in the room price and is really good. I am not reserving a block of rooms – reservations are entirely on your own. Yes, there are other lodging options in the area but this place takes really good care of us.

Please PM me with questions!

Awesome. Rope your brother in too, wouldja? We missed you both last year and I'll bet that Lake Louie has a batch of somethin' brewing that Flip would find hard to resist. :nod

[RatSnake]

I'm IN!

[RebeccaV]

I'm IN!
Awwww yeah!!

[jdmetzger]

I'm still in maybe land. Things will depend on my pending relocation situation. Mostly likely I will not have left town yet (99% sure), so I'm leaning towards "yes"... :)

[jeremell]

FYI - the Wollersheim Winery is having their Port release party from 10 - 4 on 1/26. This is a really fun, and tasty, event.

Sounds like the Wollersheim winery is a must-do for Saturday. Thanks for the tip jeremell and we hope that you can join us!

See you Friday evening late.

Just depends on how things work out. We've both got plenty of variables that need to play-out before we can commit.

Jeff and Mary Gehler, See you all there.:D

[bricciphoto]

This looks like a bunch of fun. :D I've been to WI dozens of times and I've never been to New Glarus.

The Mrs. and I are in (reservations made) contingent upon the weather. We've got a bit of a drive and a winter storm could make the trip a bit difficult. :uhoh

[RebeccaV]

Glad to hear it and looking forward to meeting you and the missus. :)

[bullit7801]

Reservation made. Now I have to convince my wife that this is a good place to be in January. She is on a mini-leave in the Spring, so she will have to come up with a really good excuse not to attend.

Looking forward to seeing you all.:brad

That's great news. It will be good to see you!


We're about two weeks away and I just talked to the Chalet Landhaus - they have plenty of rooms still available and the more the merrier. I'll need a final count for dinner Friday and Saturday night, so let me know for sure if you will be there.

Also, if anyone has questions about anything please PM me. I can also give you my cell number if you'd like.

[franze]

Order the cheese fondue. If they stir it in a figure 8, they're not posers.

WE ARE IN!!! Scott's sister called and said "Bring him up!" so I just need to get the thumbs up from the folks at my temp job [shouldn't be a problem] and we're set. We have a room reservation too.
Can't wait to see everyone again.

Ok.....just saw the thread....

Thanks to a certain PA rider with a VW and issues! LOL! We'll at least come for dinner both nights!

I live 15 miles nort' in Verona and will be coming for dinner and some other stuff.

Don't forget Paoli NE of there and the cheese chalet and some cool antiques.

It's supposed to be in the 30's so it'll be nice. Also lot's to do in the area. Mineral point to the west 40 miles is the home to more galleries and professional artists than anywhere in the country per capita. Monroe is joseph hueber Brewing. Madison has Olbrich botanical gardens. They have a huge indor facility too, tropical rain forest. Also The home of SEVERAL great brew hauses.

and lastly, if you are into home brew, I have a friend a few miles up the road that owns a brew shop and sells cheaper than you can find about anywhere. Lot's about beer....well.....it IS WI! :drink

my cell is 630-334-0540 if anyone has questions.

Yeah, a headcount for dinner would be good. The restaurant appreciates that.

I wasn't thinking you were. I'm easy. I just saw an opportunity stir some activity about it. I think there 8 of us total that will be going to dinner. Lee and Deb, Jean and Bill, Margie and Rick, and Viki and I. At least Friday and probably most or all of us on Saturday.

That's a nice restaurant for anyone hesitant to go. We would go if we didn't have plans. Hope you all have fun, it's worth the trip!

[bricciphoto]

Just remembered, because we're coming from Central Pa. (with its Germanic culture not totally unlike parts of Wisconsin :german ), we're bringing along some of the local delicacies that go great with beer: Revonah hard pretzels (hand made and the best) and Utz potato chips. Our area is a minor snack food capitol (privately owned companies as opposed to Frito Lays of the world) with lots of chip and pretzel factories that make goodies to share. :wave

[RebeccaV]

I think that we're updated - thanks everyone!

I'm bringing snacks too. Not sure what time I'll be arriving though. The last couple of years we've met in the hotel lobby to hang out before dinner. The weather looks great and we have a fun group of folks! I am really looking forward to this - see you there!!!

[Dawgmiester]

I am really looking forward to seeing all the folks again.

I am sure a good time will be had by all.

[KGT1200]

Things are not working out for me to come ):

Sometimes the best plans are screwed up and you have to go and do priorities and deal with things you otherwise would like to just shove off on somebody else. I can't; the buck stops here, and I have to stay here.

Heads up, I cancelled my room reservations when I found out, so Fri and Sat nights have opened up if they were full.

So bummed, was really looking forward to coming.

[The_Veg]

I'm bummed too, as I have not been able to make it since the inaugural New Glarus weekend a couple of years ago.

You guys raise a glass for me, and I'll do the same for you down here in TexSux.

[RebeccaV]

I'm sitting here having breakfast with Bullit + Mrs, manicmechanic, & Jeff + Mrs. We're definitely sad that some forum folks couldn't be here, but we're having a good time.

cjack and viki have a nice new camera so there will be lots of great pictures.

We are sitting around the fire and snacking after a fun morning. I see a nap in my future I think......

Kelly and I had a great time as well. What a nice setting for a mid-winter getaway--it even snowed on cue Friday evening. We enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing the sites. I'd like to think we made a few new friends. Hope to see you again on the road, at a rally, or even New Glarus! :wave

Thanks Rebecca. Nice to meet you too. You could have tried my G9 if you wanted (didn't think to ask :blush ). You've established a nice tradition with the New Glarus weekend. It's a wonderful setting to meet other riders when the weather makes riding impractical. Do it again and we'll be back next year!!! :nod

Thanks you guys for all the great pictures. I really like the winter scenes and the pool hall. And Angelo has great hair.

[RebeccaV]

..... Do it again and we'll be back next year!!! :nod

Next year is already in the works since people insist on coming back every year. :D

- I'll try to get some swag next year from a couple of vendors
- I think we should go to a different restaurant for Saturday dinner next year

Also, one of the local cheese makers has offered to do a wine and cheese pairing/tasting for us. I need to work out the details, but that could be fun for Saturday (thanks NancyK).

Any other ideas or suggestions??:ear

Well the food's good...ok great, but the dancing is great. Then there is the beer...too.

Oh wait, I actually wanted to know how to post a bunch of pictures in one post...and also how to post one picture and have it link to a gallery. Is that somewhere on this site?

I found it on the SmugMug site.

[Dawgmiester]

Oh my is that a great picture of Angelo!!!!!!!!!

I am not sure if he lurks much here so I hope someone has emailed this to him.

It was great to meet everyone. I must say I had a very relaxing weekend. It was good to get away and relax....party.....eat....sleep....eat......relax. ....party.....eat....party.....sleep...eat...go home and pass out. :eat :eat :drink :drink

Next year I will be sure to bring two bottles of German Jagermeister to share. I do not even remember how many bottle we went through in our room. :german That seemed to go over quite well for those of you who partook in the taste test. I am glad nobody had too difficult of a time finding there way to the restaurant after that.

Thank you to all for the nice memories. And the super pictures.

So let me see if I can get the combos right. Red Bull and Stoli? Cranberry and Stoli? And then Jaeger (if I recall Jaegermeister means hunt master in German, help here). But please tell me you weren't chasing Jaeger with Red Bull!

Where were the Flaming Car Bombs?!

And my wife and I would like to add our thanks to those already posted. Especially to Randy, Jeff and Mary for being our hosts for the Saturday tour.

Mo said that she enjoyed you all and had a great time. Of course, I did too.

And thanks, RebeccaV.

"I'll be back." :clap
