It says here that some great wine is
coming out of the Valle de Guadalupe in Baja California. The
conquistadores ordered the first planting of vineyards in the
Viceroyalty of New Spain in 1524 using Europe vines that grew like
weeds here.
The particular one that caught my eye
was this 2008 Viñas Pijoan Leonora. It is a cabernet-merlot blend,
which would have been right up my alley when I was still a drinking
man. Furthermore, it says that this wine goes particularly well with
smoky-sweet mole poblano. I could use something to wash down
smoky-sweet mole poblano, something that puts out the fire better
than hot tea does. Ah, well. I will never know.
Not that I had any particular
physiological problem with alcohol. Although there are those who
would disagree, most of whom still decline any communication with me, lo, these many years later. The truth is that I had to
quit because of the breakage. I simply could not afford the breakage
anymore. I'm not just talking about wine glasses either.
