Amey (a founding member of the Southern California Society of Wine Educators) provides a guide to the wines, wineries, and winemakers of Mexico's Baja peninsula. Before discussing the particular wineries, he first presents a brief history of Mexico's wine industry in general and Baja's in particular. His entries on Baja's wineries provide contact information and directions, histories of the wineries, notes on vineyard techniques, and reviews of produced wines. He also makes some interesting wine and food pairing suggestions, which can be revelatory for Americans who don't usually connect wine with Mexican food.
