Wine season

Once again, ‘Cantina Cobo’ (The Cobo Vineyard) put on an excellent festival in celebration of harvesting the season’s grapes. There were more people, more attention paid to details and more organization compared to the festival in April, showing the vineyard’s improvements and progress as a business.
