Vigo - Tomino Day One

This area of Spain is known for their lovely wines. It's a cooler, wetter growing climate for vines, but the Albarino grape that comes from this section of Spain is reknown the world over. We toured the Santiago Ruiz vineyard, a family business that once again, demonstrated the hand crafted stone, wood and gardening skills that I find myself so inspired by. The understanding of carving stone into 15 foot pillars or tabletops of granite that do not rupture after centuries boggles the mind...

I did a little grape-squishing demo...

This, being their actual 55th wedding anniversary, was a day to celebrate for us all. (And frankly, they couldn't keep their hands off each other...)
