Luna Rossa Winery

Wine: Winery: Ambiance: Jan 07, 2010

Favorite Wine: Sangiovese

Eating in the best Mexican restaurant in the US (I kid you not) in Deming, NM we met the owner of Luna Rossa Winery and were graciously invited to come by their winery. Seemingly the D'Andrea family had purchased and resurrected a former failed vineyard by cutting out former vines, keeping a few, and adding other Italian varietals in this venture. At this vineyard it seemed that they strived to produce Italian style, food friendly wines. We did not particularly like their reds (good, but not our preference) but opted to purchase a couple whites which we thought unique to the area. Though a nice winery facility, the ambiance was hampered by being along a long flat desert town highway. Would we return if in the area again, - yes.

Favorite Wine: Viognier

Excellent wines. I rate this one best in NM. Complex and bold.
