Dear Ferrari Enthusiasts,

Dear Ferrari and Exotic Car Enthusiasts,

This year we have kicked up Friday nights Jet Port Reception by several notches (you won’t want to miss this evening!) and have added two new venues to the weekend – an incredible Wine Tasting Dinner debuting the "Ferrari of Wines" from the Italian winery Tenuta Colle Del Giglio and a Road Rally on Sunday morning ending the weekend with Champagne Brunch. In addition, Saturday afternoon R & R Galleries & The Ritz Members Club are hosting a reception for everyone displaying their car on the Circle and after our Sunday Brunch, Rolls-Royce is hosting a reception for those of you that would like to test drive their new Phantom or "Drop Head" Convertible.
