The Black Mesa Winery is a little off the beaten path, but you get 6 wines for the $7 tasting fee plus you keep the glass with their logo. Best of all they ship! My two favorites were the Abuiqui White (from grapes grown in Velarde) and the dessert wine, Black Beauty, infused with chocolate. Must taste to believe!
Excellent wines and tasting room. Easy access from highway on way to Taos. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Variety of wines including a excellent port.
Who would have ever known. Believe the owner said they had been there 15 years. Caught it out of the corner of our eye on the way to Taos. We did a tasting $7 the bought a bottle of Antelope - the Bordeaux blend and off we went...
On my last 2 trips to Taos, I've enjoyed a wine tasting at Black Mesa Vineyard Tasting Room in Taos, just off the Plaza. The tasting includes 6 wines for under $10. While I'm spoiled with my favorite California wines, Black Mesa delivers the best New Mexico wines of any I've tried, and I've tasted a few. Each time I visit I wind up buying at least 1 bottle to take home. The staff is very friendly and knowledgable about the wines they are serving. The atmosphere of the Tasting Room is very comfortable and nice. The location, just a short walk off the Taos Plaza is very convenient and adds to the evening activities all in a short walk. I definitely suggest a stop at the Tasting Room in Taos for enjoyable atmosphere for a tasting of some nice New Mexico wine.
We have traveled the wine trails in Missouri and decided to stop here since it is right on the way to Santa Fe. It is a quaint little vineyard on the side of a mountain. The lady was very friendly at the tasting and figured out very quickly what type of wines we liked. She made suggestions and we tried them and we bought them. I liked the idea of tasting 6 wines and keeping the glass for $7. We ended up joining their wine club, so they can ship to us. Their Black Beauty wine is the best, so save it for last!
Love Black Mesa! Their wine is fantastic and Kat is always so nice. Favorite wines include their Viogner and Dolcetto. I go every time I am back home.
We stopped in on New Years Day just needing a little information and got that as well as some great wines, local honey and some great tasting dressing for my grilled pork chops. The lady who waited on us took the time to make a few phone calls to help us find a product we were looking for that she did not carry. Always a joy to find folks who will "go the extra mile."
We had an amazing time tasting Black Mesa wines in the Taos tasting room. Laurie and Craig are amazing hosts that will recommend the best wines for you. We went on Friday night and enjoyed live music after our tasting. Happy Hour specials on glasses are also a good deal. We had an extensive selection of wines to choose from from our tasting. We had a blast! Thank you Laurie and Craig!
Stopped in for a wine tasting and ended up joining their wine club. Several excellent wines and exceptionally helpful and caring staff.
Had a very nice visit and glad we had the opportunity to sip on a glass of their Antelope which was a very delicious red blend. Reds are a little pricey but they do make some good wine and you definitely want to stop here if you are into wine.
