I moved to ABQ two years ago...before moving here I lived in eastern Washington - 60 wineries within 50 miles of our house and wonderful reds; and before that we lived in CA where we were close to Santa Cruz, Sonoma and Napa wines. In CA we were volunteers for ZAP - Zinfadel Advocates and Producers - where we were able to taste and serve great zinfandel wines. Let me know what wine I should be trying in my new home state. Regards, Diane Hi,

Hammond Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:42:43 +0000 http://www.ellenonwine.com/34#comment-101 Good tasting notes on the Milagro wines. I've been a fan of Rick's wines for years. I don't know how many NM wines you've had a chance to try, but there are many gems these days. Coming to Corrales, NM with a wine cellar full of California wines, it took me a while to warm up to the wines here, but the quality improvement over the years has been significant. I recently wrote Wines of Enchantment, a guide to NM wines. After visiting most of the state's wineries, I've found many wines to recommend. If you're interested in other not-to-be-missed wines from here, I'd love to mention a few. Take care, Jim Good tasting notes on the Milagro wines. I’ve been a fan of Rick’s wines for years.
