The last few nights have all been in different places so it was very nice to be spending two nights in Molinos. Before we headed out exploring this morning we did chores.
Then we headed out of town to check out wineries. The terrain we drove through would never make you think there were wineries on this road.
When we first arrived at Tacuil there was no one around. We were greeted by a very friendly dog that was carrying an animal paw in his mouth. After Duke rang the big bell a couple of times someone showed up and we tasted a few wines.
Then we headed to Colomé winery where we had a reservation for visiting the art museum and tasting their wine. Our guide was named Sabrina. She was absolutely fantastic. Her English was excellent and she knew a lot about the Colomé winery and their wines. Colomé was established in 1831! We tasted three wines.
After the tasting we took at tour of the James Turrel Art Museum. I knew the art was all about space and light but I had no idea what we were going to see. Some of the pieces we saw were large rooms with surprising and amazing effects. We couldn’t take pictures and it is very difficult to describe the museum but I think we all were blown away by the experience.

Were you able to buy a brochure or postcards at the museum? It’s so interesting that it is in what appears the middle of a dry, dusty nowhere.

I should have mentioned in the post…. The museum can only be visited by reservation and only with groups of 10 or so. There is no gift shop. They do have pictures and plans on the wall of his giant Arizona installation.
One of the things our guide talked about was why the museum is in the middle of nowhere (her words). She said it is because Turrell wanted the empty space, peace and quiet without distractions for the visitor. And so that when you come out you will have a new appreciation for the light, the mountains and the colors, shapes and distances.
