Any suggestions for Mexican and South American Wines? Both red and white.

Casillero del Diablo wines are a good South American wine along with just about any Malbec from Mendoza Aregentina.

Both available at the Commercial.


The Tempranillo is pretty good!

while flying from puerto vallarta to mexico city to zihua last year. we were able to have some wine shipped from Valle de Guadalupe that was delicious. This past year we also met one of the vintner's from there at there home in San Diego. I can not for the life of me find the way we ordered but i will scour my emails and post later.

We had an excellent red from there a couple of years ago. We bought it from a wine store on Vicente Guerrero which has since folded. Sorry, can't recall the name.

Was it Montevino? If so you can buy it at Europa.

We've enjoyed Casa Madero which is from Mexico and I believe the oldest winery in the Americas. They have a variety of grapes but the Chardonnay is probably my favorite though the Cab Sauvignon is no slouch. You can find it all over but the wine and liquor place at the Ixtapa Marina will have it stored at a proper temp. Enjoy!

A well known winery in Baja, L.A. Cetto makes some great wines, red, white and sparkling. Readily available at Comercial, and Merza, which is our choice for alcohol. Great selection, better prices.

It is Europea, a liquor store in the Ixtapa Marina. Not Marina in Ixtapa.
