We started an informal wine tasting group about a
year ago. We first started off rating all the wines then we figured what
the heck. We had 3 or 4 favorites and why bother rating them. They
either make the top 3 or 4 or they don't. Listed right below is a Acell
spread sheet with 29 wines rated. Below that I list our favorite wines,
that you can find here in Cuernavaca. We have found a few very good wines
for under 100 pesos.
