Wine #2 Nivel Nebbiolo
Another new winery for us, Vinos Nivel. 2017 100% Nebbiolo.
Not being wine makers ourselves, we don't know if Nebbiolo is touchy about it's environment but it must as it's been our experience that Guadalupe
Nebbiolo can be all over the place. We can't recall ever tasting a 100% Nebbiolo before but we all suffer from CRS so that is not reliable. So, with
some trepidation, heh, we popped the cork, let it breathe about 20-30 seconds and dove in. (GrubHub was at the door with our
shelter-in-place-Peruvian-night food so no time to waste)
Outstanding, on the level of a really good Malbec, very steak-worthy. I don't know who Juan Paredes Cerano is, but either he got lucky or he knows
what he is doing. Next time going south, we are loading up.

Where did you buy it?
Love a good Nebbiolo
Hard to find good ones
Couple years ago driving through the LACetto vineyards in San Vicente we saw some vine rows marked with the name

This was part of a 6-pack shipment of Baja wines from La Mission Associates, LMAwines.com.

How can one order these wines for delivery within Mexico, that is, on mainland Mexico?
As individual vintage bottles (in a case-size lot) and/or in a 6-pack assortment?
Thanks!

Try LMA or maybe contact the winery through their Face Book page.

I don't do Facebook
But I would really like to visit the place
Any idea where it is located?
$33 is pretty pricey for an unknown mail order variety, Just saying.
With very few exceptions I have found most Baja wines to be worth a lot less than that number, but I am always up to finding new and better. And, at
least when it comes to wine, I have a very open mind.
