Palafox Winery - Baja Mexico
We are back! We are back visiting Jaime Palafox at Palafox winery. Jaime is one of our favorite winery owners down here. The winery is located about an hour south of Ensenada. There are not many wineries here as opposed to Valle de Guadalupe. There still are many wineries. And there are lots of vineyards. But most of those grapes get sold off to the northern wineries. The last time we were here Jaime would not let us leave. The food he had catering was amazing. I remember the Marlin Tartare being my favorite. This time was no exception. We went upstairs to the loft that overlooks the winery. And here was a table full of food and wine. There was lots of conversation about wine. But there was also a lot of conversation about life in general. Both visits here were very relaxing and casual. It's just like you were good friends at his house hanging out. Palafox was one of the very first Mexican wines we discovered from Baja. We have two of his wines on our list at Aroma Thyme Bistro in New York. Unfortunately, not many of us winds make it to the United States. So if you like something buy it at the winery. We can't wait to visit again!
