There really is no equivalent to two buck chuck in Mexico. And trust me, i have tried most of them and they are not worth it. The Baja wine industry is going tru a difficult phase right now, quality is down, some wines are salty beyond repair, and most big names like Monte Xanic, Chateau Camou, Domecq, Liceaga, and Santo Tomas, are struggling to produce decent wines.

On the other hand, theres a growing boutique winery segment in the area, and i was very surprised at the quality and price of those wines, only problem is, they are made in limited numbers, perhaps 200 cases for each winery.

For cheap wine, i rather go with a California or Chilean.

Our favorite small vineyard winery in the Guadalupe valley is Tres Mujeres. Excellent blends. It is 200 pesos a bottle and worth it.

They make good wine, specially their merlot, ISMI. I have been buying from them since 2006 and they keep improving.

Ivette also makes a very good olive oil!

I want to visit Tres Mujeres and taste their wines. Many have spoken highly of them.

Oggie/Jesse,

How do they compare to Vinisterra wines?

Vinisterra does well with their Domino series, but the higher end wine is not as good as other brands. Overall, i think 3M make better wines.

Anyone have a good connection to Vendemia tickets? 2010 I want to get my tickets early so I dont get left out like last year. Is it me or did the prices go up last year? Are they trying to edge us out with outrageous prices like La Ceto did last year?
After all we do live here. Maybe we could ask Nancy from SADM to write an article slamming that soup N-zi at the La Cava boutique in Ensenada. Whatayasay you radical old gal from the sixties are you up for it? I mean can you help? Are you interested in redeeming yourself before the lights go out on your end of San Antonio del mar and you blame the other towns people?


Oh I thought I'd mentioned I voted for Al Gore also;D

Unfortunately la Vendimia has turned into a snob circus in the last 6 yrs. I used to love going to that event, but has now turned into a completely commercial event. Chilangos everywhere, prices ridiculously high, and no real feeling for wine making from true fans.

Its a shame, and probes bigger is not always better.

It wasn't that many years ago that Mexico did not produce wine of quality. Mexican wine consisted of red and white in a decanter type bottle with a pry-off cap. It was heartwarming to see the industry evolve to the point where they could compete internationally. But, I still have to wonder why it is that their wines are so over-priced. Many fine restaurants in Mexico offer good Chilean wines for much less money. Would think, if anything, they'd slap a duty on the imports to quell competition.

La Casa de Dona Lupe is another good, small Guadelupe valley winery, but not sure where to find it marketed other than on site.
