Taos, New Mexico (Santa Fe: home, to buy, organic)

[texscot]

Just spent a few days at the SageBrush Inn in Taos. They treated us very well. For a good lunch try FULLBELLY DELI, have Aaron fix you one of his good grilled sandwiches. The ski valley had snow and was well organized.
The SageBrush was built in 1929 and still has the era ambiance with modern updates.

any nice restaurant in taos? we love food and wine...also beer...how restricted is to drink in taos?

In looking I'm thinking Taos, NM needs a really good online review of local restaurants (there are so many), or perhaps I just haven't found it. However this list may prove helpful:
Taos NM Restaurants - taosfood.com
You might also refer to specific discussions of New Mexican restaurants on these forums.

For its size Taos has an abundance of good restaurants, and due the spirit of the place they often have that little something extra one doesn't always find. Not to mention a New Mexican sensibility one won't find elsewhere. There is an ample selection from the good and simple to fine dining which may not match the extravagance of NYC, but quite pleasant and in its own way better.

Not sure what you mean by restricted (in this world other places less so) but of age you shouldn't lack for an ample choice of spirits. Eskes Brew Pub, for one, offers some good beers of their own making along with a nice menu. In general you'll find a better selection of beer, wine and spirits in town than possibly expected. Most places that you might expect to do serve alcohol, with usually a fairly good selection. I'll give passing mention to the Apple Tree Restaurant on Bent St., but only one of many fine options, including something rather different nearby in The Alley Cantina.

In years past some mountain men made Taos their winter home. Some of their relatively primitive accommodations can still be visited. Some nearby restaurants seemingly haven't changed much, with simple wooden floors and thick adobe walls of humble dried mud. But that on offer is comparatively far more sumptuous. When in Taos one need rough it only to the degree desired.

New Mexicans in Taos? Hmm. Interesting. All I saw during my visit was the modern day hippie outsider - typically a person from California, New York, VW or northeast with net worth in the millions, living in a 6,000 sqft home and walking around with long hair, no bra, doing yoga to destress and eating organic to stay in touch with Mother Earth. I suspect that's why most of us cannot afford to buy there anymore....

Ha ha! I moved to Taos in '76- yep lots of folks walking around with long hair and no bras back then. And a number of my old friends are still there and still braless after all these years! Luckily, they bought into Taos back in the now so-called "olden days." Wish I had bought in Taos back then too.

We have stayed at the Sagebrush and enjoyed it. I like Taos better than Santa Fe. Less hustle and bustle. However, unless you are a liberal and or wealthy, it is not all that hospitable, IMHO.

Most places can be hospitable if you are considered wealthy.
