Wine Tasting Tour

Day before yesterday, Bill and I (along with our new friends Lynn and Mike) hired a van to take us on a short ride to visit two of the (nearly forty) nearby wineries, Santo Tomas and L.A. Cetto.

Coincidentally, a gentleman by the name of Santiago, who (along with his family) owns the Santo Tomas winery (and many other holdings, including the largest bull fighting ring in Mexico City), pulled his sailboat up next to ours in our marina last week and will remain here for the summer.  Very nice fellow!

This particular latitude band matches that of the Tuscan wine region in Italy.  The wines we tasted (particularly the light, dry whites - including a "Rhine style" wine, of all things) are quite nice and surprisingly affordable.


Here are a few pics of our adventures in wine-ing.
