Spotlight: Viñas de Frannes
The Valle is booming.
The amount of growth in the Valle in the last few years has been mind boggling and keeping track of all the new wineries and restaurants is close to impossible. That being said major venues don't usually slip under my radar, but somehow Viñas de Frannes escaped my notice.
Based upon the pictures it's an impressive facility.

Bumpy Roads Ahead (Literally)

After the Valle received a very much needed 5 inches of rain last week, several of the wineries posted reassuring notices on social media that the Valle's dirt roads were passable and that their tasting rooms were open. While I'm sure all the wineries are are currently accessible, as the roads dry, it's going to be a very bumpy ride getting to them.

eBook Report: Conversations with Winemakers - Valle de Guadalupe Baja, Mexico
Christopher Barnes went to Baja earlier this year and talked with many of the Valle's winery owners, industry insiders, and chefs. The interviews that were originally published on the Grape Collective website have now been collected in the form of an ebook.

El Niño's Valle Visit
Vinos Pijoan reported on Facebook that they received 5 inches of rain in 3 days. That's the same amount of rain that the Valle had in all of 2015.
It's going to be a glorious spring.

Shout Out: Whitney A. - Finca La Divina
I give a lot of credit to Javier Plascencia's publicist. He/she sure helped to generate a lot of buzz for Placencia's new bed and breakfast, Finca La Divina.
Here's another blog post about the opening of FLD.
FMM Information via Discover Baja Travel Club
Even after September when the Mexican government started enforcing the law we never stopped to get an FMM Tourist Permit on our trips to the Valle. After reading this information from DBTC we will probably do so in the future.
