In the "Travel" section of the NY Times is an interesting article on the
wineries of the Guadalupe Valley in Baja California, Mexico's only bona
fide wine region:

I've only had one Monte Xanic wine, which was OK but no better. Has
anyone had any experience with any of the wineries discussed in this
article?

I have had wines from LaCetto and Domecq (mentioned in the article, though
if I understand, they sold their winery off last year)... both made very
drinkable Cabernets. The Domecq was about $7 US per bottle. Maybe not a
Rubicon, but for 1/15th the price, it certainly topped many California Cabs.

I have tried the Cetto cab, don't recall the year. Popped it blind on
a group of friends at a local shop and asked them to guess what and
where it was from. Opinions went all over the place. One identified
the grape, but everyone else got stomped. Some thought it was an old
world wine, some a new world wine. It was fun to play along. The
wine as I recall was priced at around $9 and generally good.
