La Cantina Winery schedule, maybe no live music but good wine!

A quick FYI - while the entertainment activity at La Cantina has dropped off as they closed their outdoor tent and are using their small inner space for the winter, they still are open and selling good wine.

You can also find them at the Winter Farmers Market at Fairmount Fruit Farm
