From Steve Dryden, writer and winemaker,
“Starting September 10th, we'll be hosting "Dinners with Winemakers" in Guadalupe Valley on the second Friday evening of each month. Hacienda
Guadalupe has opened their new restaurant where we'll be hosting bilingual presentations each month. Our first guest winemaker/owner is Antonio
Escalante of Roganto Winery. Our talented Chef Omar Garcia will match three premium wines with a three course dinner. Live music, valley view sunsets,
and unsurpassed hospitality will greet lucky wine and gourmet cuisine lovers in this new valley view restaurant. Rooms will be available at special
pricing for those who want to spend the night, and/or take a bilingual van tour of the wine country on Saturday morning at discount pricing of $20 per
person; tasting fees and lunch are additional. For reservations or information: [52] 646-151-3273 and www.haciendaguadalupehotel.com.
Wineries to be featured, beginning September 10th and then the second Friday of each month at Hacienda Guadalupe Restaurant, will first be as
mentioned above Roganto, and subsequently La Garza, Tres Mujeres, Tres Valles, LaFarga, Madera 5, Bibayoff, Pijoan, Emeve, Hacienda La Lomita, L.A.
Cetto, JC Bravo, Vinart, Encino, and more.
Portions of our TV show, "The Grapevine – Mexican Wine and Culinary Adventures," was filmed at several Fiestas de la Vendimia events this summer, and
we want to thank Provino and David Bibayoff for their generous support. Between our wine column in the Baja Times (six years), with Vino-Tourism at
Mexidata.info, and now the TV show at Varivision Cable 8 of Ensenada, we have been able to spread the news about "Mexico's Silent Revolution in
Creating World-Class Wine" and letting the word out about how Ensenada has become "The Wine and Culinary Capital of Mexico."
