Visiting Gruet Winery - Episode #457
In this special episode of 1337 Wine TV, Mark made a special day trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico (a 4.5 hour drive from where he was staying at in Plains, TX) to visit one of the premier sparkling wine houses in the United States. He sits down with Michael Dominguez, Operations Director for the winery. This was a special visit as Mark got to see all facets of both their still and sparkling wine production as far as bottling was concerned.

NMSU Offers Wine Making Class
We are traveling through a vineyard in a golf cart with New Mexico State University Viticulture specialist, Bern Maier who is making one of his many trips out to check on the grapes that are almost ready to be harvested.
Low humidity and birds can do much damage to the grapes, so the vineyard requires much attention. After inspecting, and tasting some of the grapes Maier knows that within a week harvest will begin, just in time for the start of a wine making course offered by the university.
Students will have the opportunity to learn about the industry beginning from the grape to putting together a small business plan.
We will talk about what it takes to really run a winery. What it takes as far as investment costs and marketing plan, said Maier.
After harvesting the grapes, students will learn about the post-harvest process of making wine that begins in this fermentation lab.
(Pointing to jugs of fermenting wine)
In this case we are looking at a Sauvignon Blanc and it almost clears after the fermentation, says Maier.
Maier himself comes from a family that for generations has grown wine in Germany. He arrived in New Mexico in 1983 to help grow grapes and set up vineyards around the state, and he hopes to share his knowledge and experience to eager learners.
We fill the class up just about every year. We will try to not enroll more than twenty-five people. Twenty-five gives us the opportunity to do lab work in two groups, twelve to thirteen each, and it also gives the student the opportunity to get hands on work, says Maier.
The class will take some field trips to local wineries. However, most of the work will be done in the field preparing the product, and of course at the end of the semester students may even have some time for product evaluation.
Black Mesa Winery, Velarde New Mexico
Travel Guide New Mexico tm Wines of the San Juan Bloomfield New Mexico
Wines of the San Juan vineyard, tasting room, and winery is an Arnold family business. We are a boutique winery, flourishing in the bosque of the San Juan River, offering a simple and relaxing atmosphere for those seeking a short escape or a new journey. Whether returning from a rugged canyon quest, day ride on a motorcycle, or fly-fishing adventure on the famous San Juan River, enjoy a trip to our family winery.
At the winery, you will discover much of what the Arnold family has to offer. We have milled logs into the timbers that form our rustic structures, and then pinned them together with wooden pegs. Our in-house artists create doors, mirrors, paintings and music to please and soothe the mind, ear, and eye. Our winemakers tediously crush, press, taste and bottle nature's pure fruit, all in celebration of the mighty grape. Hail, the juice of love! We offer our guests a taste of fine New Mexico made wines ranging from the semi-sweet and fruity, to dry and toasty - something for every palate.
