Corrales NM Quilt and Wine Fair A success….
Outside Rio Rancho, NM, there is a small quiet, old fashioned village called Corrales. This small town has several fine restaurants, a few galleries, several horse farms and much more. Make sure to follow their sped limits because they are due diligent in stopping drivers. Corrales has a pastoral atmosphere and a mix of old businesses and contemporary services. You can still see old farms with fresh vegatables, small orchards mixed among small developments and condos.
The quilt and Wine fair was a success with about 2000 in attendance. A local brewer of old fashioned mead reported it was one of the best ways to kick off the season of wine festivals.

Most of these companies are small to medium operations and have great stories to tell about their passion for producing local wines. Also when dining out or at your favorite bar ask which local wines, brews, or meade that they are offering. Buy local: your money will go back into our local economies.
