RAIN OR WINE
Rain and wine growing don't mix, but the Closbrella by Mara Hoffman creates the perfect union between the two. The designer collaborated with Clos du Bois winery to create a patterned umbrella with a sleeve that doubles as a wine bottle chiller. Hoffman's "El Mundo" print adorns both the umbrella with a gel grip handle and the matching neoprene sleeve which also functions as a wine bottle chiller. The Closbrella is available for $48 at www.ClosduBois.com.
