Jancis Robinson offers up a few opinions about the Valle as well as some wine suggestions.


Use Uber to visit the Valle


I have never used Uber's Valle service, but it certainly solves a problem for people who do not want to drive in Mexico.  

Uber will continue providing the Valle service until September 30.

Here are three wineries that I recently added to my list with many more to come.
