Jim

Next time you are down this way and have some free time, let me know.

If you are interested, I can introduce you to Miguel Fuentes, Joe Malagon, David Bybayoff, and a newcomer to the Valle, Ray Magnussen of Lechuza Vineyards........all great people and full of information about the business and the Valle.

Manuel Delgado of MD in Uripan has some historical background of the business in Uripan and the Sto Tomas valle.

Would make a fun and informative couple of days

And so, Santiago, we now begin to understand why some of these Mexican wines can "sell" for what they do. :lol:

BTW, I had the M.X. Calixa Cab/Syrah and I thought it very good. Nice dense fruit, even for a blend. It could use some aging, but I'm not sure it will get much in the bottle.

Still, I think I paid 280 pesos for it.
