They're talking about wine making, history ....

I do! You can buy a bottle (sometimes) from the lady at EL CRUCERO restaurant. It has been a while but I think it is a sweet red and cost $200 pesos.

I will add a photo of the bottle when internet is strong enough.

I don't understand why peoples love of baja includes thinking the majority of Mexican wines don't suck badly. Ok! Before you run for the pitchforks and torches...yes a few are ok, and with time more will be drinkable. But let's not deceive ourselves.

Nope, but last week I enjoyed San Ignacio Lagoon oysters!

I agree, the mex wine is hit and miss and mostly miss. When I go to baja, I try to bring wine with me. I find the consistency poor. People rave about a particular wine, so I buy it and tend to usually get a bad bottle,... or perhaps people doing the recommending are just tasteless?

I also don’t see the appeal of most tequilas. Very few tequilas are drinkable, and those that are drinkable are ridiculously expensive. I prefer to bring gin and whiskey with me when traveling to baja.

How bout the beer in Mexico? Disappointing too. Bring it from usa, so many better pale ale and IPA microbrews available everywhere in usa

:no:

I haven't opened this wine yet so I cannot comment on what it tastes like. That being said, once they had a wine event here with wine from the mountain ranches. It was a tasting and some of the wines were delicious. They sold out within the first hour!

For the most part, the ones I have tasted are quite red, quite fruity and ridiculously sweet. Which I am OK with.
