My advocacy for such things as a decent Colorado Cab Franc have fallen on deaf ears. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-41700644605562423982009-09-29T07:57:00.566-07:002009-09-29T07:57:00.566-07:00I've had a fair amount of wines from Mexico on...I've had a fair amount of wines from Mexico on both sides of the border and I can tell you, there are some really well made wines but....most of it is not. Could be why importers are not falling all over themselves to get them in the market. Sounds like you were lucky enough to get one of the good ones.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-35486587668352737002009-09-28T10:28:41.987-07:002009-09-28T10:28:41.987-07:00Tracy,

Glad to hear you had a good experience with the wine!<br /><br />Fredric,<br /><br />I'm thinking Chrysler missed a great marketing opportunity with Baron Rothschild for Le Baron wines. :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-37021354221172643272009-09-28T07:11:40.043-07:002009-09-28T07:11:40.043-07:00well, I guess that should be El Baron, n'est-c...well, I guess that should be El Baron, n'est-ce pas?fredric koeppelhttp://www.biggerthanyourhead.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-2597960481501270322009-09-28T07:10:39.770-07:002009-09-28T07:10:39.770-07:00excellent post, and thanks for letting me try Le B...excellent post, and thanks for letting me try Le Baron.fredric koeppelhttp://www.biggerthanyourhead.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-3469476337437326832009-09-27T14:16:54.968-07:002009-09-27T14:16:54.968-07:00Mexico is a favorite travel destination of mine, c...Mexico is a favorite travel destination of mine, coastal Mexico that is. However, it wasn't until last year that I decided to try the local wine instead of looking for something more familiar. I, too, was delightfully surprised. Mexico isn't just for Tequila anymore!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15151012468863960958noreply@blogger.com
