coco farm and winery

the week before i went to kyushu, i took a group of the participants of our world culture seminar on an excursion to Coco Farm and Winery in Tochigi.
Its a winery which is staffed by people with disabilities. The wine and food were amazing.

I bought two bottles and i think i will buy more over the net. It tasted like wine
we would get back home, not japanese wine. most japanese wines i have tried are way too sweet, but this place uses french methods and varieties. the chief wine maker is an american from califorinia.

we also went to a place called Ashikaga Gakko, japan's oldest university, on the way back home. Most of the photos are from there. i took a video of the winery instead
