The wine cellars have been much more than a cave for making and storing wine.<br />
Some say with a certain malice, “Ay...if only the wine cellars could talk. The fact is th<strong>at</strong><br />
people talked a lot and about everything in the wine cellars. At the he<strong>at</strong> of wine, so many<br />
things come out and we can only imagine the secrets th<strong>at</strong> have been told there.”<br />
In today’s terms, I would say th<strong>at</strong> the wine cellars are a place where one can<br />
release stress. Certainly for many people in the past, going to the wine cellar was just as<br />

can go to distract themselves. The elders of the town remember th<strong>at</strong> in the past there<br />
were dance parlors which were very popular, but this was several years ago. They also<br />
remember Arturo’s house. How many cups of coffee were served, how many people<br />
would stop by to converse and spend some time. The Teleclub, which was the same as a<br />
bar, but was called this because there were television in these places, is where people<br />
would go to w<strong>at</strong>ch some shows while they ch<strong>at</strong>ted, smoked, and drank a glass of wine.<br />
Each era had something, but only th<strong>at</strong>- a place of enjoyment and nothing else. The wine<br />
