Visiting Carlos Creek Winery
This popular attraction is actually located outside north (see city-data map) of the city of Alexandria and in the city of Carlos. I've been going up here bringing Morris folks for the last 2 years or so.

I learned something new today (Saturday, February 3rd of 2007) of a "revival" back in the days on 6th and Nokomis.
