Geography, water, and talented vintners seem to come together along the inland ranges of California. The inland valleys are cooled by gentle afternoon Pacific breezes, yet warmed by the sun just far enough away to escape most cloudy days. These inland valleys also have aquifers and other sources that produce grapes in abundance when tended by knowledgeable vintners.
This gracious coincidence blossomed in Napa a long time ago, and in Sonoma, Temecula and other famous wine growing parts of California. About that same time the "Other California" we all know so well was experiencing similar viticulture in the Valle de Guadelupe - North and East of Ensenada. In the late eighties they began to be recognized for producing some incredible wines... and boutique vineyards today produce wine that is impressive and tempting for any well seasoned palette (or those of us who just love great wine).
This blog will highlight some of these great vineyards in the valley and will serve as a companion to our website: http://www.baja-wine.com/
To our readers who know us to work at El Milagro, just south of Puerto (selling Baja Real Estate), We will be conducting Wine Country tours monthly from the site. Visit us at http://www.elmilagrobaja.com/ - click learn more to register and get invited to this and our other great events.

I've eaten there too! Their wine list is like a tour of Baja's best wineries
I ate at Casa Natalie last year with friends. We were doing a moving feast (appetizers at Casa Natalie place, salad next, dinner somewhere else and then dessert at another place). I still remember the shrimp appetizer and the wine (which was an outstanding Adobe vineyard wine) changed my view of Mexican wines forever.
Love, love, love Casa Natalie!
