"Really?" you might think. Yes, really. When you come by the shop on Sunday, September 20, you'll find 17 unique and delicious wines open for you to try. All from Mexico. And when you leave you'll know for sure there's more to drink from Mexico than margaritas, cerveza and Mexican Coke!

As Wine Enthusiast explained a couple of years ago, "It’s strange to think of a region with 500 years of winemaking history as 'emerging,' but few areas have leaped as significantly in quality over the last several years as Mexico. While its warm climate delivers full-bodied, fruit-forward wines with ease, producers are replacing power with balance, complexity and variety experimentation. The country offers everything you’d want from a region of its size: small, independent wineries; sustainable farming; no-rules winemaking and an incredible diversity of styles."

Tom Bracamontes through his La Competencia Imports are doing a great job of helping us move from reading about Mexican wine to actually tasting and enjoying it! He's working with artisanal, dedicated, wineries and winemakers across Mexico to both find US customers and keep pushing their wine quality higher and higher. With Tom, we've put together an amazing assortment of Mexican deliciousness for you to try.
