New Mexico Vine and Wine Society
September 8th, 2024 at the Abiquiu Inn
Our annual big public outreach event held Sunday September 8, 2024, from 2pm-5pm was extremely successful. As in recent years, in was held under the cottonwoods at Abiquiu Inn. While we do not have an actual head count, we estimate that we had between 130 and 150 participants.
The wineries that participated this year were:
Mesa Top Winery
Lescombes Family Vineyards
Wines of the San Juan
Gruet Winery
Sheehan Winery
Black Mesa Winery and Cidery
Ryan Dominguez entertained us by playing nearly 3 hours of outstanding Spanish guitar and classical romantic melodies. At one point, Ryan was accompanied by Maximino Manzanares. Maximino has an amazing singing voice, and it was a real treat to hear him sing.
Special thanks to the participating wineries, Abiquiu Inn, Tina and Mike, Jan, Jen, Stan, Tom and Mary, and all the folks that brought appetizers.
Jan West provided the following photos and videos. Thanks Jan! I must point out that she provided more than I was able to post on this site. Make sure that you check out the three videos at the end of the photos.
