Casa Guipzot

I had a wonderful time at Casa Guipzot. It was a last minute turn of events to stop by right before closing. The owner, Salena, opened her doors to us and presented three different wines on the spot for us to try. I learned so much from her about wines from Mexico. I did not know that Mexico had a robust wine business in different parts of the country. We also learned a lot about history and commerce as to why the wine business in Mexico has been suppressed and not part of our cultural experience. I am not the biggest wine drinker but I did learn why I do not like acidic wines and how to pair wine with the proper meal. We also learned how to swirl the wine to ensure it has oxygen to open up all of its flavors. We were then told to look at the color by holding it up to the light. Next, we were to smell the wine and identify the flavors. After this, we were to take a tiny sip just to open up our pallet. The more we swirl the wine the more the flavors opened up. So finally, we were able to take a big sip and truly enjoy wine. The space looks like a cute house and is very warm and inviting. I cannot say enough about our host. Very friendly and eager to speak with us and stay open late. I do plan on coming back and tasting more of what Mexican wine has to offer.

A wine tasting like none other! A wall of high-quality wines from Mexico [5 states only produce wine], the knowledgeable invited sommeliers provide a combination history and science class.The location is small but open 6 nights a week for those needing a glass of wine that is out of the ordinary. All wines were smooth and delicious,small venue west of downtown with plenty of parkingStaff was an expert
