Mexican Wine

is a rapidly growing industry and not only highly demanded in Los Cabos. Tasting the wines of Baja California Norte was the main objective from my recent trip through the renown Valley of Guadalupe which lies between the picturesque mountains close to Ensenada. It was amazing to meet a couple of the enthusiastic winemakers and learn about their visionary concepts. Modern “New World” technology wine production, but also “Old World” methods are used by the local mix of mostly self-trained Mexican but also European, North and South American wine-maker's clan. Thanks to Rogelio Cortes from Baja Wines Cabo we could experience “this very special places and moments in time”.
