Make Me Wine
After a short walk through the botanical garden here at Rock Hound where we saw this Cow Tongue Cactus, we went on a little wine tasting tour....so no more pictures :)
First stop was St. Clair Vineyards where we took a "flight" for $3 each. That meant a choice of 6 wines per person. We had fun and were there kibbitzing for a couple of hours. We picked out the Thanksgiving dinner wines and a few others. Also picked up a couple of snacky items including a Chipotle Sauce for chip dipping which we'll save for our Thursday feast. I enjoyed the Champagne Kir and Mimosa but our fave is still the red Nebbiola which is like a Beaujolais.
Then we went on to Luna Rossa Winery. We missed the turn and wound up on the freeway and had to go about 10 miles before we could turn around and go back to take the right turn! We enjoyed our wine server's conversation and walked out with a few more bottles. We are stocked up!!
New Mexico wines are pretty good but available only in the state or I guess you can buy online if you're in the right state. We look forward to coming through here to sample these smooth wines. Check them out if you're looking for a relaxing afternoon.
