Dos Años!
February 23 marks the end of the blog's 2nd year. It's been a year that the Valle has experienced unprecedented growth and that is certainly reflected in the 80% increase in the number of the blog's page views. It looks like it's going to get harder and harder to make dinner reservations
Looking forward to sharing another year's worth of Valle de Guadalupe's news and info.
Salud!

Event: Lechuza Spring Release Party - May 28
We are, once again, thrilled to announce our annual spring release party. This dinner is to highlight our newest vintage in bottle paired with amazing culinary talent. We are honored to host Season Six Master Chef winner, Chef Claudia Sandoval, Season one Mexico Top Chef contestant and cook book author, Chef Pia Quintana, Top Chef guest judge and owner of The Restaurant in San Miguel de Allende, Chef Donnie Masterton, and last but not least, our hometown favorite, Michelin Star Chef and owner of Deckman's en el Mogor, Chef Drew Deckman.
Starting with cocktail hour, you will have an opportunity to meet with all of the chefs and try and sampling of their cuisine. We will then welcome you to our grand table, set amongst the vines, in which each chef will take over a course and collaborate a menu highlighting our new releases.
Following this special meal, you will have the opportunity head to the dance floor and cigar lounge, soaking up the valle stars. A tasting counter will be set up, in which you will have exclusive specials on these new wines to take with you.

Spotlight: Vinícola Xecue
Although Vinícola Xecue is not mentioned regularly in many articles and blog posts about Valle de Guadalupe, it is certainly worth a visit.
Xecue's owners, Jose Luis and Alberta (he's the grower, she's the winemaker) are generous and gracious hosts. They have a beautiful tasting room where you can try their very drinkable and reasonably priced wines. And, unlike many of the Valle's tasting rooms it is open everyday.

There is nothing in this post that hasn't already been suggested dozens of times, but I'm pretty sure the author Maxwell Williams actually did visit the Valle.

Shout Out: Wine Geographic - Valle de Guadalupe
The author says some nice things, but I'm pretty sure he/she has never been to the Valle.

It's time to start thinking about your plans for August.
The calendar for the Valle's 16 day harvest festival which begins on August 5 will eventually list dozens of events. The first few events are now listed on the official Provino calendar page.
