About the Winery:
Originally from the Champagne region of France, the Gruet family began making champagne in 1952. In 1984, after a careful search for the perfect climate and soil conditions to create excellent sparkling wines, Laurent Gruet and Farid Himeur brought their many years of combined experience and rich tradition of champagne making to Albuquerque.
Nowadays, the Gruet wines - Brut, Blanc de Noirs, Demi-Sec, Blanc de Blancs Vintage Chardonnay and Pinot Noir - are available throughout the nation from New York to Hawaii.

About the Winery:
Midnight in New Mexico. A full moon. A coyote wails in the distance. A sense of mystery hangs in the air. Black Mesa's Coyote is a serious dry, red wine that captures the spirit of New Mexico. Or, on the more whimsical side, Black Mesa's Black Beauty is a fun, chocolate flavored red wine that goes great with your favorite chocolate dessert! El Camino Real, the scenic road between Santa Fe and Taos, is home to the Black Mesa Winery. The Velarde Valley serves as an historic backdrop for the revitalization of vineyards prominent in New Mexico for almost 400 years.
Experience Black Mesa's fanciful named wines, Coyote, Black Beauty, Antelope, and Conejito White, as well as Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Zinfandel. Ask about joining the Black Mesa Wine Club.
