Great piece and insight. Coincidentally read this after a recent encounter at a tasting in Los Angeles, CA with a small vintner out of Tecate, Mexico whose wines while costing a bit more were creative and exceptional. Thanks for the article.
I do appreciate an in depth analysis about any topic. This is quite a very professional piece, congrats!. That being said and being me a daily wine (mostly red) consumer and on top of that being Mexican I’ve to say that me and many of my wine drinking friends agree since many many years ago that Mexican wine has many problems. One of them is the “terroir” (small) and another is the absurd and unjustified price. In Mexico you can buy a high-quality Spanish or Italian Reserve wine for the same price as an “unknown” Mexican wine and that doesn’t make sense. Lot’s to do.
Both you and your friends seem to hit the nail on the head—a lot to do and, as fellow wine-drinkers at MXPE, we hope it happens soon. Thank you for reading!

Will have to quietly get a case of the stuff for ourselves! Thank you for reading and commenting!
Look up Noel Tellez, his Bichi wines are amazing. And I laugh at “Bichi”…colloquial for “naked”.
