Now both bottles I opened had a very strange "fishy" smell and taste to it. It was that bad that the wine wasn´t drinkable.I remember that it was a hot day when I purchased the bottles and I had them in my car for several hours. I also remember that some time ago I had the same "fishy" taste in a bottle of white wine that has been left for me on a table in a beach apartment (without air condition).I am very familiar with the taste of "cooked" red wine (jam like cooked fruits). Is a "fishy" taste the result of overexposing white wine to heat??    (hide)

Read moreOn the weekend I made a little trip to visit the wineries in the state of ... it is about 15 min drive to "La Redonda" wineries http://www.laredonda.com.mx/The winery has free tours once a day during the week and every hour on the weekend. You can sample their wines for free and the tour is very interesting, although it is a very small winery. They plant Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec, Pinot Noir, a local grape called Salvador and just started to plant Tempranillo, of which they don´t offer any wines yet. Their 2004 Malbec-Cabernet called Orlandi is pretty good; they also make some very good sparkling wine, which they produce using the "Methode champenoise". The winery is owned by an Italian family, they offer italian food at the weekends.From La Redonda it is a 5 minutes drive to Freixenet of Mexico (Mexican subidiary of the spanish company):http://www.freixenetmexico.com.mx/F... also offers a free tour, where one can visit the deepest cavas in the Americas (25 mts). They also produce the sparkling wines (cavas) following the methode champenoise. I am not very convinced of their table wines, but they make excellent sparkling wines.Freixenet also has their own winebar in Tequisquiapan, where they offer Freixenet wines from all over the world. Very interesting, so you can sample wine make from the same grapes from the same company from different continents.The village Tequisquiapan also has a wine & cheese festival end of May, I will definetely visit again for this occasion:http://www.tequisquiapan.com.mx/doc...    (hide)
