The title for this Wine Lab was lifted from a recent National Geographic magazine headline. The article outlines why New Mexico is poised to surprise and delight the intrepid traveler and wine connoisseur. New Mexico is home to the original American vineyards, those established by friars and monks to bless the parish in the early 1600’s. Today, New Mexico’s wine industry is championed by European settlers who reestablished vineyards and winemaking proficiency over the past 40 years. Christopher Goblet, Executive Director of New Mexico Wine, brings the flavors and stories of New Mexico to the tasting table as the state prepares for its 400th Vintage in 2029. Join us to raise a glass of New Mexico Wine with their hallmark toast – Viva Vino!
