I had a wonderful time in New Mexico. ABQ is a very beautiful city --- and the food is excellente!
During my stay, I had a sample of Chile Red Wine from Anderson Valley Farm (?). I am wondering if you know of any local wine store that sells this wine and can take orders via phone or online.
I can't say that I'm familiar with this particular wine, but I'm sure if you called the winery directly (505-344-7266) they would be more than happy to tell you where you could purchase it. They may even be able to send it to you directly from them. Good luck!
Glad you liked Chilean wine. I have no idea where you can purchase it because I live on the other end of the country (New Hampshire) but I just wanted to tell you that I'm from Chile and I'm very proud to say that Chilean wines are considered very good. They even have received awards in France !!! a country that produces really good wines as well. If you like red, try "Casillero del Diablo" and/or "120" from Santa Rita vineyard ! We can those in our local supermarkets here. And then, let me know how you liked them!

Hi Angie -
Well, I hate to disappoint you here...and I feel Chilean wines are great as well, but believe it or not, he is talking about chiles (as in the chile pepper grown and eaten tremendously heavily in NM). The state question in NM is "red or green?"...meaning, would you like red chile or green chile with/on your meal? It really is great stuff, and terribly addictive (and pretty healthy!).
And yes, they actually make New Mexican green chile wine...and it is delicious.
The terms are similar...but chile in NM is a product all unto itself!

Hey, EnjoyEP!
I think we have a little problem with semantics here! He talks about Chile (with capital CH) Red Wine ... in that order ... not red chile wine ... see what I'm saying? To me, he is actually talking about Wine that is Red and is from Chile
And I understand what you are saying: New Mexican green chile (w/small "ch") wine is wine made from green chiles (and I know what chiles are! hot and spicy! )
I think there talking about chile wine, chile like the pepper, in New Mexico lots of things have chile in it such as chile fudge,chile jelly,chile pecans and pistachios,chile peanut brittle, all sorts of stuff, trust me its the chile pepper wine there talking about, this is New Mexico.
I have to back up EnjoyEP and councilor j on this one. I am almost positive that Qacer is interested in a local (ABQ) vintage derived from red or green chile peppers. The fact that he is looking for a wine that is made at Anderson Valley Vineyards (located in Albuquerque's North Valley) is the strongest indication to me that he is not looking for a wine that was produced in Chile (the country). I am guessing the that the capitalization is purely a misnomer.
But that is not to say that wine lovers shouldn't enjoy the wines of Chile as well!

I'm going to have to search those out in NJ, I've very much enjoyed some of the Chilkean reds I've tried. I have a French born friend who also enoys Chilean reds , La Postale is one I recall.
Curious if the Chilean wine industry is very ld or a relative newcomer?

OK ... sorry ... my apologies to ... EnjoyEP and Chaparral ... I guess we are talking about chile peppers, not chilean wine! Mmm ... wine made from chile peppers ... I wonder what it tastes like
But you are right, Chap ... Some of the people I know here in NH who have tried wines from Chile say they loove them!

Hi, Burdell All I can tell you is that Chile has been exporting wine to the US for many, many years ... for as long as I can remember! Just like our fruit. In fact, all the grapes, nectarines, peaches, plums, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, etc. that we get here on the East Coast in winter are mostly from Chile! Going back to Chilean wines, if you like reds, you are going to enjoy Casillero del Diablo and 120. Casillero is my favorite, though!
