Mexican Wine

I've received many phone calls and emails over the past few months regarding wines from Mexico.

Many Texans spend time in Mexico in the summer months and
return home hunting these fabulous wines from the Baja. "The wines d'Acosta has crafted at Casa de Piedra – known for their clean, terroir-driven style – have already achieved cult status in Mexico City, where they command prices up to $150 a bottle at fine restaurants." Check out this great article and one in the NY Times...also more information about these wines on the Vine Connections site.

Lanny's Kitchen in Fort Worth is the first to feature the Baja wines in Texas, along with the rockin' Fort Worth wine department in Central Market...the secret is out!

D'Acosta and his partners will use 200 acres of newly acquired vineyards and land to makes wines reflecting the unique conditions of Baja California's Valle de Guadalupe Cheers - Ali
