e-Book
This book is a journey, several journeys, condensed into hundreds of pages. It began a little less than a year ago and, like any initiation, it started with an incomplete, perhaps distorted, idea of what we would find. Years had passed since my previous visits to Guanajuato, while Nacho was much more assiduous, but neither of us expected any surprises: we already knew something of its vineyards.
