Where was I? Vol 2

[Fishtigua]

Sadly, there is a ship in a bad way also in Korea.

There were a few Koreans in American Samoa who wanted to build a similar attraction there, on a ancestral burial ground.

Why?!

Surfeit of cash vs taste?

Sorry to say, all of the above.

Visiting some vineyards, and where we stopped for lunch.



So take a guess...?

No, and not even California.

There are a couple down in Arizona and New Mexico, are we that far south?

Ok, strike off the US.

[williredale]

I asked the household wine expert and she says South America, possibly Chile.

[Fishtigua]

Oops, sorry. Just from looking at the Mack/White truck, I was easily led.

So maybe down to Oz, Barossa Valley or Pemberton, it looks too dry for Coonawarra.

[smack]

Not Oz, and not Chile. For a hit in isn't one of the top 10 wine producing nations.

Now we are getting somewhere! Yes!

[Bonefish Blues]

There's a very nice Mexican Red I bought a case of called La Cetto IIRC - is it their property by any chance (on the basis I don't know any other Mexican producer!)

[Siscar]

Valle de Parras? (Never been but I have a bottle!)

It isn't, but L.A. Cetto was a mile up the road, and down a dirt road, so good enough (to the left of the photo is probably some of their vines)! On Highway 3 between Ensenada and Tecate in Mexico, just outside Guadalupe. The whole area reminded me of roads and scenery I have rode in Spain.



I did a tour/tasting there, and was pleasantly surprised. They said they are Mexico's largest producer, and The winery was started by a Italian Immigrant, so did many Italian style wines, and yes, I brought a few bottles home, and they were very nice!
Where did you buy a case of it?

[Bonefish Blues]

I correct myself - L.A. Cetto...

Some time ago at an indy between Hammersmith and Chiswick - saw a very complimentary review and was obviously thirsty

Still available, I see, not seen it in any of the majors recently though http://www.tanners-wines.co.uk/la-cetto-petite-sir...

Where's this, should be a piece of proverbial, so precision required (sorry - visit predated digital so another borrowed image with URL spoiler)
