Seduction, Rose Wine, Don Quixote Distillery, New Mexico
The winery states, “Our rose petal wine is an Eastern European treat made from organic rose petals. Aromatic and slightly sweet this herbal wine is lightly fortified.”
We thoroughly agree with their statement. We found it to have a floral bouquet and is the most unusual wine we have ever tasted. Needless to say, we purchased a bottle for our wine collection and a special celebration.
Angelica Dessert Wine, Don Quixote Winery, New Mexico
This history of this wine is interesting. It was invented by Spanish Missionaries in Colonial New Mexico in 1628 as alter wine. Don Quixote winery states,” Our Angelica is made using the same four hundred year old recipe originally used. This very sweet wine was America’s first export product, growing so popular in Europe that Spain outlawed its importation. Don Quixote is proud to bring this native New Mexico product home.”
We found it a exceptional sipping wine to share on special occasions.

The grapes for this wine were pressed while frozen in the late days of December. The resulting wine is sweet and full of body. It has a rich flavor that lingers on your pallet with a hint of apples and pears. If you want a great dessert wine, we would recommend this Ice Wine.

Beso means “Kiss”. We found this blush wine very flavorful and light. It is a blend of watermelon, raspberry and strawberry. We purchased a bottle after tasting it for its unique flavor. We shared this on Valentines’s Day.
