Fwd: Ensenada Wine Country

There is a vast wine country just northeast of Ensenada, Mexico in la
Valle de Guadalupe. Especially nice is Bibayoff Russian Winery at the
far end of a long dirt road.

Visted there last week and partook in several barrel tastings. While
much of the wine was sweet (French Colombard, Chenin Blanc, Muscat ).
The dry Cab/Zin combination was excellent, as was the Zin and Oporto!

Additionally, the owners of the winery served barbecue lamb that was
excellent in every way.

A return trip is in order.
