David Kohl presents the thriving winemaking region of Mexico. While best associated with cerveza & tequila, many do not realize that The Domecq Family, with historic roots in Jerez-Spain, established vineyards in the early 1960’s within Baja Peninsula : Valle de Guadalupe. This achievement predates Napa Valley although the story is not widely known. Today we taste a rich red offering from Domecq that is a unique blend of 3 grapes : Carignan along with Barbera & Ruby Cabernet. Ruby Cabernet is a hybrid grape (Cabernet / Carignan) that was created to withstand a high heat threshold. The blended selection reflects a spicy black cherry nuance with hints of cocoa. Retailing in the $15 range this is a great discovery. #winepodcast #wine #mexicanwine #mexico #bajamexico #domecq #redwinelover #mexicanfood
