We definitely saved the best for last this trip! Afternoon Fall pickup and tasting of new releases at Turtle Rock in Tin City. Don Burns the owner was the assistant winemaker at Saxum for years and he decided to give it a go on his own. The nice thing is he is able to source fruit from the...

Last day in Paso on this trip. Late (morning) visit to McPrice Meyers for Fall club pickups. McPrice Meyers should be on anyone's visit to the area. They make 5 Star QPR wines on all fronts. They are most famous for their Beautiful Earth Red blend that made it to WS #16 spot on the Top 100...

Next it was on to Torrin! Fall club pickup and of course tasting the latest releases! Our server was none other than Vaquel the wife of Scott Hawley the winemaker/owner. Had a fantastic time (as usual)!

Had a fantastic tasting experience at "Law"! Joined the club! (no surprise). Wines were all amazing. Winery is gravity fed by design so no need for pumps.

We are back at the same AirB&B as last time. It was perfect and so was the price. Less than a night at the local Springhill Suites and we have an entire house and full kitchen. We stop at the local Von's and stock up for the stay. Tri-Tip is an amazing price in this area. $6.8/lb (trimmed)...

Drone shot. Black Mesa and the Rio Grande.

Happy 62nd Birthday Craig!

Our local Smith's Marketplace (Kroger) store has a full beer/wine bar with several big screen TV's in the middle of the store......

Celebrated my 66th trip around the Sun yesterday. My first attempt at rack of lamb. Did not suck! Herb crusted rack of lamb, parmesan oven roasted baby potatoes, oven roasted broccolini with lemon. A few bottles of Châteauneuf-du-Pape may have been consumed! :db

Have to admit that this was a pretty amazing feat of engineering that came off without a hitch this morning........
