Mexican wine country south of the border
Touring Mexico's wine country is quite enjoyable and very easy to do. If you find yourself in the San Diego area and have nothing to do for a day or so, consider touring the verdant Guadalupe Valley which lies approximately forty road miles south of the border at Tecate (which is thirty-eight miles east of San Diego). Three major wineries (Pedro Domenq, LA Cetto, and Monte Xanic) are separated by a scant seven miles so touring all three is a simple matter for a day's itinerary.
How to get there
From San Diego, take Interstate 8 (I-8) East to El Cajon. Exit at Second Street, and turn right at the signal at the bottom of the ramp. This is Jamacha Road. Follow Jamacha for about eight miles until you arrive at Rancho San Diego. Turn left onto CA 94 (Highway 94), which will be the second twin left turn lanes that you'll encounter on Jamacha Road. A sign marks the intersection (Tecate, Campo).
Follow highway 94 as it winds it's way up into the hills (Note: This is a very scenic drive especially in deep summer). Twenty two miles up CA 94 turn right at the marked intersection to Tecate. This highway is numbered CA 188. A scant two miles later you will encounter the border. On the left just before the border is a gas station that sells Mexican Automobile Insurance. Your US policy does not cover Public Liability and Property Damage in Mexico. Crossing into Mexico is about as hard as crossing a state line in the USA. For driving tips refer to the mini series "Rv'ing Mexico". After you enter Mexico, you will need to dogleg left at the first traffic light. So make a left and then a right at the next block.
You will be on the main road to the wine country and Ensenada (Hwy 3). Watch for stop lights and stop signs as you progress through the urban sprawl. When you encounter the traffic circle, all oncoming traffic turning in front of you has the right-of-way (important so please don't forget this rule). After you dodge a couple of cars keep going straight. The road will wind up a hill and soon the urban congestion will ease. Soon you will be in the midst of boulder studded grassland and chaparral. Keep your eyes open for slow trucks ahead and fast buses behind. After winding your way up and down a series of grades (about thirty-five miles worth) grape vineyards will appear on both sides of the road.
The LA Cetto winery is on the left about two miles down a well-graded road (there's a highway sign). The Pedro Domenq winery is on the right, near the highway in an imposing concrete structure.
A nearby full hookup RV park
On the way to Pedro Domenq, LA Cetto and Monte Xanic, you passed by a well-run RV park (Rancho Sordo Mudo). Retrace your steps just a little past LA Cetto. There will be a billboard type sign on the right for Rancho Sordo Mudo. Turn right and pick out a spot. The park is verdant and green. The restrooms are clean with hot water and showers. This rural park is administered by the Rancho Sordo Mudo (Deaf Mute Ranch) across the highway. Someone will be around to collect a donation in the morning--this is a charitable organization to assist the disabled, please reach deep into your billfold.
Continue south to Ensenada, or return back to Tecate? The choice is yours. Really smart RVers would have brought steaks to barbecue to go along with that "extra" bottle of Monte Xanic. One liter per person is the allowable limit to bring back into the states. Perhaps a bottle of Merlot to go along with some Chateaubriand grilled over shimmering mesquite coals? This is a fine adventure and fine booty to stock your wine cellar. If you have pretentious friends who claim to be wine snobs, imagine the look on their faces when you announce an occasion special enough to enjoy a bottle of "Mexican Red". I wish I could be there with you to enjoy the spectacle.

Wines to drink with Mexican Food
Chef and Mexican food authority Rick Bayless, owner of Chicago's award-winning Frontera Grill and Topolobampo recommends some wines to pair with Mexican dishes.
• With dishes having spicy red chile sauces pour a Merlot or a fruity red like a Sangiovese.
• With dishes having tomatillo-based sauces go for a Sauvignon Blanc or Merlot.
Rick also likes La Cetto Petit Syrah and Nebiolo.

Testimonial about Wine Country Tour in Ensenada
One of the best excursions on our cruise was the Wine Country Tour. They took us by bus about 45 minutes outside the city of Ensenada, Mexico, to two different vineyards. The first was Cetto, started by an Italian man who moved to Mexico and started making wine in the 1800s. It is the largest vineyard in Mexico and makes 60% of the country's wine. We took a tour of how they make the wine and then tried several of their varieties and also some brandy and tequila. Luckily, they gave us bread, cheese, and olives to soak up all the alcohol!
Then we went to the Santo Thomas vineyard, which was much older and had a somewhat different process for making their wines. They use some French techniques, like using only naturally split oak pieces for the oak barrel aging process. We tried some of their wines as well and enjoyed the beautiful countryside.
Then they dropped us off in the downtown area so we could do some shopping. I really didn't see much I wanted to buy since it was so touristy and expensive. I had been to Mexico several years ago to the less touristy areas and had bought many, many beautiful arts and crafts then.
The tour guide on our bus was also great and very funny. He kept us entertained the whole time with jokes and trivia about Mexico (like why we celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the U.S. when they hardly care about it in Mexico; it isn't even their Independence Day after all!) and other fun stuff.
All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone on this cruise.

Tasty Mexican wine history
While Mexico's wine industry has boomed rather recently, winemaking dates all the way back to the Spanish conquest, with the Spaniards surprised to find how well the vines they brought from the homeland adapted to the New World climate. In 1597, the Spaniard Don Lorenzo Garcia made the town of Santa Maria de las Parras in the northern Mexican state of Coahuila home to his Casa Madero, the oldest winery of the Americas. By the mid-17th century, however, the Spanish crown determined that the vineyards were doing too well for its taste: fearing future competition from New World wineries, it banned all vine planting and brought wine production in Mexico to a halt. Many Spanish missionaries refused to abide by the new rules, though, continuing to plant vines and produce wine on a small scale.
The Saint Thomas Mission (Mision de Santo Tomas), founded in the northern area of Baja California Norte State by Jesuit priests in 1791, reactivated the production of wine in Mexico. The mission grape brought over and planted by the Jesuits found its perfect home in an area that compares in climate to California's Napa Valley and France's Rhone Valley. In 1834, Dominican priests began growing grapes at the nearby Northern Mission of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mision de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe del Norte), now known by the abbreviated name of the Guadalupe Valley (Valle de Guadalupe). The Guadalupe Valley is one of the few places in the world where premium wine grapes can be grown.
In 1857, after Mexico's War of Reform, the Catholic Church was stripped of its holdings and all church property became part of the state. The small wineries formerly tended to by missionaries were eventually abandoned. In 1888 the government sold the former lands of the Santo Tomas Mission to a private group, which established the Bodegas Santo Tomas, the first large-scale winery in Mexico.
In 1904, the region received an influx of immigrants known as the molokans, a pacifist religious group which opposed war and fled Russia so its men would not be drafted by the Czarist army. The Russian families purchased about 100 acres of land and dedicated a considerable portion of it to harvesting grapes for wine. They encouraged others to do the same, helping the area acquire a reputation for making good wine.

Wine Country News from Guadalupe Valley (3/3)
Wine Country News from Guadalupe Valleyby Steve Dryden (end)
Mourvèdre grapes often are very late to ripen, so ripening is helped with stable weather often provided by proximity to a large body of water such as the Mediterranean or the Pacific Ocean. We're fortunate here in this region because our wine region is situated in a similar manner as the southern Rhône Valley in France, very near to a large body of water. Mourverde berries are medium-sized and blue-black in color, with thick skins. The intense gamey quality of Mourvèdre is often improved by the rich fruit of Grenache and the structure, spice, and power of Syrah. This fact just might be what inspired Christoph Gartner to create his latest amazing blend of Syrah and Mourverde.
Vinisterra's new 2004 Syrah/Mourvedre is a premium wine that stands out among the best wines from Baja California. The label was conceived by Patricia Macouzet and drawn by Tanya Denise Gulliver to reflect one particular evening in Valle de San Antonio de las Minas. The Sarah (67%) for this blend was harvested on September 2nd at 24.5 brix and is a blend from two distinct regions. The Mourverde (33%) was harvest later in the season on November 6th at 26 brix with and is also a blend of grapes from two distinct regions. All of the grapes used for this wine were grown on the wineries own five year old vineyards in Santo Tomas and San Antonio de las Minas where they have 750 acres of which 35 acres are currently under cultivation. Christoph Gartner, the winemaker. actually manages the vineyards himself. This style of intense and focused grape management is one important factor that allows him to provide such amazing wine. The primary fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks with secondary fermentation in French oak for 18 months, 50 % of which was new oak, with no filtration of the wine.
This rich and complex blend of Syrah and Mourverde is brilliant in jewel-like color with a elegant and delicate body, soft tannins that provide a relaxed long-lingering finish. Fruit forward blackberry and black currant fruit flavors with butterscotch, carmel, cocoa, coffee and leather on the nose, well balanced acid and a slight hint of sweet vanilla wood. After decanting and about forty-five minutes the wine opens up and settles down into rich licorice flavors and strong blackberry and black currant fruit aromas. The Mourverde adds some spicy, savory structure that compliments the richness of the Syrah. The Syrah adds some black pepper, licorice, clove, thyme with a slight hint of truffle. This high quality "classic" blend sells at the winery for $40 per bottle with a 10% case discount.
And, don't miss out on the 2004 Vinisterra Grenache /Termpranillo blend. Christoph has created another stunning wine. It is deep purple in color with flavors of boysenberry, candied cherries, red berries and hints of chocolate, cocoa, cloves, nutmeg with smooth and soft tannins mid-palate and on the finish. This well balanced wine with refreshing aromas of red fruit, spices, white pepper and mocha is a great addition to the portfolio of Vinisterra wines.
Patricia, Abelardo and myself paired up both wines with gourmet cheese produced here in Guadalupe Valley by Tito Cortez. The wedding party was kind enough to offer some fabulous paella to highlight our evening. As I gazed out the window towards the wedding group I thought about blends of grapes coming together in harmony, each bringing individual qualities that provide character, depth and richness. I realized that an artisan like Christoph Gartner is creating something like a marriage between grape varietals, similar to the blend of individuals, unique people and families coming together in the marriage on the patio at Vinisterra. Creating good wine and good love is similar to orchestrating classical music, you have to bring all the individual players into harmony in order to produce a masterpiece. And, hopefully over time everything just gets better. I hope that happens to "the little old wine writer ...me!

The Fine Art of Blending Premium Mexican Wine
By Steve Dryden (continued)
The southern Rhône sub-region is similar to Valle de Guadalupe, Valle de Santo Tomas and Valle de San Vicente, all having a more Mediterranean climate with milder winters and hot summers. Drought can be a problem in these areas, so drip irrigation is common. The southern Rhône's most famous red wine is Châteauneuf du Pape, a blend containing up to 13 varieties of wine grapes, both red and white, as permitted by the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC rules. Depending on the specific AOC rules, grapes blended into southern Rhône reds may include Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Carignan and Cinsaut. White wines from the southern Rhône sub-region, such as in Châteauneuf-du-Pape whites, are also typically blends of several wine grapes. These may include Roussanne, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, and Clairette.
Vinisterra Winery has been designing their line of premium wine over the last several years with many of their wines derived from southern Rhône varietals grown in Baja California.
During the last few months Vinisterra winery has been introducing their 2004 Syrah/Mourverde and their 2004 Grenache/Tempranillo blends. Historically, Syrah is the only grape used to make the famous Rhône wines of Côte Rotie and Hermitage, but also forms the backbone of most Rhône blends, including Chateauneuf du Pape. Although cultivated since antiquity, competing claims to the origin of this variety gave credit to it either being transplanted from Persia, near the similarly-titled city of Shiraz or to being a native plant of France. Research completed at the University of California in Davis and at the French National Agronomy Archives in Montpellier has proved that Syrah is indeed indigenous to France. Actually, DNA profiling proved Syrah to be a genetic cross of two relatively obscure varieties, Mondeuse Blanc and Dureza.
More than half the world's total Syrah acreage is planted in France, but it is also a successful grape in Australia, South Africa, California, Washington and Baja California. Syrah is a fairly new variety in California, Washington and Mexico and is one of the most rapidly increasing varieties in these regions. Syrah vines seem to love growing in Mexico because these vines require heat to get fully ripe, bud fairly late and are considered to be a mid-season ripener. The berry is thick-skinned and dark, almost black, often allowing for intense wines, with deep violet, sometimes nearly black in color with a chewy texture, richness and spicy aromas.
Mourvèdre is a variety of red wine grape grown around the world with some new and old vineyards planted in Mexico. In some parts of Europe and the New World it is known as Mataró, Generally these vines produce tannic wines that can be high in alcohol, and are usually most successful in Rhone-style blends. Mourverde blends well with Grenache and Syrah, softening and giving more structure to these varietals. Typically the taste of Mourverde grapes vary greatly according to area, but often have a wild, gamey or earthy flavor, with soft red fruit flavors. Recent DNA fingerprinting and research has shown that Monastrell is, in fact, the Graciano of Rioja. Mourvèdre is widespread across the Mediterranean coast of southern France, where it is a notable component (like Syrah) of Châteauneuf du Pape. It is sometimes used to produce a fortified red wine in Languedoc-Roussillon and is being rediscovered in some older vineyards and planted in new vineyards throughout Baja California.

The Fine Art of Blending Premium Mexican Wine
By Steve Dryden
By Steve Dryden
Last night, during a wedding event held at Vinisterra winery in San Antonio de las Minas I sampled some wonderful new releases of wine. Lately, I'm been so busy working that I've missed the finer things in life, so it was nice and refreshing to spend some quality time with friends, sharing "wild" stories and unsurpassed hospitality. Abelardo Rodriquez and his beautiful wife, Patricia Macouzet often host friends and special events at the winery and are two of the few folks in the Mexican wine industry who fully understand hospitality, courtesy and have the patience to provide basic wine education and local history to inquiring visitors. They are masters in creating refined and relaxed ambiance, a rare skill and treasured virtue in today's fast paced world.
The Rodriquez family has the advantage of being long time Baja California residents with a family history of higher education and hospitality, perfected by their grandfather, Abelardo Lujån Rodriquez, interim President of Mexico from 1932-1934. President Rodriquez was a champion of the Mexican wine industry and well known for vastly improving Mexico's educational system. Some of his other accomplishments included "the establishment of several financial institutions, the restoration of public education, and the implementations of laws related to private charity and monopolies. He joined the Mexican revolution in 1913 and began moving up the ranks soon after. He became a Colonel in 1916, and following his involvement in the Plan de Agua Prieta, he was named Military Commander of Northern Baja California in 1921. In 1923 he became Governor of Northern Baja California, and continued as both Military Commander and Governor until 1929. He also lengthened the presidential term length from four to six years. After his term ended on November 30, 1934, Rodríguez returned to private life until 1943, when he was elected governor of Sonora, where he had a significant impact on education. He promoted university education, establishing Sonora's state university and at one time owned Santo Tomas winery where he is credited for bringing classic varietals of grapes into Mexico's vineyards.
Thanks to Patricia and Abelardo, the Vinisterra winery is known for their hospitality and for creating some incredible wine. Their winemaker and co-owner, Christoph Gartner, is a Swiss trained enologist with a driving passion to create premier wines in Mexico. Some people think it's unusual for Swiss to make wine, but in fact, the tradition of wine and viticulture in Switzerland is very old, at minimum going all the way back to the Roman era. The first evidence of early Swiss winemaking and consumption (stored in ceramic) were discovered and dated back to about 150 A.D. If you are "old" like myself and you still have some memory left you might remember in the 1960's a little old man (voice of Jim Backus) known as the "Little Old Winemaker" from TV promotions by the Italian Swiss Colony wine producers. His favorite closing phrase was "That little old winemaker...Me!" This is not Christoph Gartner by any means! Christoph is more comparable to biblical David, who challenges and conquers the giant, Goliath. To be more exact, he has slowly and silently evolved into one of Mexico's top winemakers. He didn't boast or make false claims to be the "best" - he just does it! He simply creates fantastic wine and is focused on using grape varietals from southern Rhone valley in France.

What about Wine shopping in Mexico City ?
In order to do some wine shopping in Mexico City, the best way is to have your buddies giving you some advices.
Just had a thought - we will only be in Mx City for a few days before we go by bus to Morelia and then Patzcuaro. We are devoted wine drinkers and don't know what to expect in Morelia or Patzuaro as far as availability. Any recommendations for a place in Mx city to buy two or three interesting bottles to take with us? Thanks for any suggestions.
Morelia is actually a fairly sophisticated city. I don't think you should have too much difficulty finding good, drinkable wine there. Like the U.S., Costco in Mexico also has a pretty good wine selection. Morelia has a Costco. If you're taking a taxi into town from the bus station just have the driver stop at Costco, run in get a couple of bottles and then head for your hotel. There are also numerous liquor stores around town.

What about Mexico Wine Country ?
Baja Wine Country
Mexico's Baja wine country offers unique spirits worth exploring—an easy trip from Southern California.
By Frommer's Portable Los Cabos & Baja
Admittedly, Mexico is not the first country to come to mind when thinking of wine, but the emerging wine country in Baja does make for a memorable exploration and a unique and easy trip from Southern California. Take a long weekend and indulge in an exploration of the spirits here.
Day 1: Tijuana to Ensenada
Cross the border into Mexico, and make a stop in Tijuana for a generous sampling of Baja's wines at the Cava de Vinos L.A. Cetto (L.A. Cetto Winery). Cava is big and commercial, but it will give you an introduction to what Mexican wines have traditionally been known for. The cork-covered building is certainly a sight to see in and of itself. When you're finished (making sure you're sober enough to drive), head down the coast to Ensenada, but not before enjoying a truly wonderful meal at La Embotelladora Vieja at the Bodegas de Santo Tomás winery, which crafts its menu to complement wines. Be sure to book a room in advance at the Adobe Guadalupe if you want to truly immerse yourself in the wines of the Valle de Guadalupe. You also can stay in Ensenada, as it's just a 29km (18 mile) drive between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo along Highway 3.
Days 2 & 3: Valle de Guadalupe
To orient yourself and ensure that you start your explorations with some knowledge of the area's unusual history, pay a visit to the Museo Comunitario del Valle de Guadalupe and the Museo Histórico Comunitario. Try lunch at the Museo Communitario's adjacent Russian restaurant. Fill the rest of your days with visits to the various wineries where you can view bottling processes and partake in tastings. My preference are visits to the smaller, boutique wineries, such as Monte Xanic, Chateau Camou, or Mogor Badan, but you may also enjoy visiting one of the large establishments at L.A. Cetto or Domecq. Be certain to plan a meal (reservations are recommended) at Laja before heading back.

Setting standards of excellence in Mexican wines
The "Big Three" wineries may provide good, affordable wine for the mass market, but the small wineries are providing the enthusiasm in sophisticated wine circles. These elite vintners are
elevating the quality and the reputation of Mexican wine, As the excitement grows, several wineries and winemakers are well on their way to achieving cult status.
Hugo D'Acosta at Casa de Piedra, whose first vintage was in 1997, is the standard-bearer for the small boutique wineries in the valley. The unique winery is new, but looks old and was
designed to look like a stone house as the winery name implies. "We wanted to keep it
simple," says Hugo, "like our wine." While the winery makes a subdued architectural statement, the "simple" wines, as it turns out, are elegant and concentrated.
Casa de Piedra produces only two wines: a white, Piedra de Sol, made from Chardonnay grapes grown in high-density vineyards, and a red, Viño de Piedra, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo. Production currently sits at 1,250 cases, which D'Acosta hopes will soon double, as he is optimistic about the future of Mexican vines, especially the old vines
he's bringing back to productive life. "Old vines planted many years ago by the Russian emigrants may take on a new life.... The roots go very deep on these head-pruned plants and they are better adapted to the arid conditions. They could make beautiful wine," smiles D'Acosta.
Ice wine and beyond: Monte Xanic
Another star leading the quality charge is winemaker Hans Backhoff of Monte Xanic. The winery produces a Calixa line offering high quality, oakaged white and red varieties at a reasonable
price. There's also the premium or Monte Xanic line. The biggest surprise, however, comes from
Backhoff's Mexican ice wine. He found the nearby refrigerated lockers used by the local fishing industry perfect for freezing the grapes despite the Mediterranean-like climate.
While Mexican ice wine may seem a little out of place, so too did the idea of producing wine in Mexico, period. To the chagrin of skeptical critics, the commitment by Mexican winemakers
to produce quality wine is paying off. A growing number of wines now compete with top-tier winemaking regions around the world. And the best is yet to come, as is evidenced by the enthusiasm, dedication and confidence found throughout the Baja Peninsula. Says Christian MacKay of L.A. Cetto Winery: "With over 100 international awards, we are showing the wine drinkers of the world our best. Our wine is great; we only need to spread the word."

A little Bordeaux inMexico
Deeper into the Valle de Guadalupe is the small town of Francisco Zarco. Driving down the bumpy, unpaved road toward wineries Château Camou and Monte Xanic is like stepping into an old Mexican movie set. Horses, goats, dogs and people roam the streets and on both sides of the road, houses and buildings have an authentic "well-worn look."
Entering Château Camou at the edge of town, dusty clay gives way to lush green. Winemaker Dr. Victor Torres is one of the fathers of the wine revolution in Mexico and his Bordeaux-style
wines reflect his time at the University of Bordeaux, where he obtained his doctorate in enology.
"One of the miracles here at Château Camou is the presence of very old vines; many over 60 years old–they are our treasure," says Fernando Favela, whose family owns the winery. Jesus
Rivera oversees this entire process with fanatical pride and guards the esteemed reputation of the winery, whose bottles grace the tables at haute cuisine restaurants throughout the U.S.

Summer Day Trip to the Baja Wine Country
"Summertime with wine and the living is easy".....didn't someone write a song about that? This August is the perfect time to visit the premier wine country of Valle de Guadalupe, as long as you don't mind temperatures in the 90's and 100's. The heat is on and so is the excitement as August marks the month long Harvest Festival celebration in the valley and in regional towns throughout Baja California. Harvest event information and tickets can be found at: www. http://www.fiestasdelavendimia.com/. Mexico has always been known as one of the unique and captivating culinary capitals of the world and now the wines of Baja are awakening and surprising the most sophisticated wine enthusiasts in the region and internationally. Guadalupe Valley is a beautiful rural area filled with interesting and scenic wineries, high quality wine, friendly people and an amazing assortment of fine dining opportunities and excellent lodging possibilities.
The wine country is located about seventy miles south of San Diego and can be explored by heading south on the Tijuana-Ensenada toll road to the last collection station before the seaport of Ensenada. About one mile south of that toll station look for the sign Tecate Highway 3 or Ruta del Vino (Wine Route) and travel east on Highway 3 for seven miles until you drop down into the Baja wine country at San Antonio de las Minas. This is the western end of the Guadalupe Valley wine region which extends fourteen miles east towards Tecate ending near Km 73.5 at L.A. Cetto and Domecq wineries.

Chabert's Wine-Dinner and Art Auction on August 3rd
Contemporary Artist Stephanie Clair of La Jolla, California will be
featuring her "Romantic Cubism" wine-related art during a special "Artisan
August" wine dinner and art exhibit on Friday August 3rd at Chabert's
Restaurant in the Rosarito Beach Hotel. Eighty lucky guests will enjoy
dinner reservations along with a silent auction of four pieces, two
originals and two embellished giclees prints.
Stephanie creates amazing art using the matrimony of emotion, cubes and color while sharing her
inspiration from happy, dreamy moments in life that we can all relate to,
but so easily forget. Her inspirations often focus on " a first love, a last
love, a memory, lovers sipping wine, being enlightened, inspired by sweet
music... those moments are ours to remember- but the speed of time can erase
the memories we all take for granted." She tries to capture a snapshot of
that moment on canvas. Each painting has a feeling; each feeling tells a
story. Her eyes in the paintings allow the viewer to reach in and connect.
She feels they are the windows to ones soul. In addition, her technique is a
delicate blend of color, technique, imagination, and cubism meant to evoke
mystery and emotion. Her goal is to challenge the viewer's eye and mind, as
you get lost in a three-dimensional world of people passion and beauty.
Stephanie Clair was raised in upstate New York where she drew her way
through those cold winter days of her youth. After high school she moved to
Virginia where she earned a BFA in painting/design at Old Dominion
University. Influences in her work include Picasso, Matisse, Chagall,
Modigliani, and Kandinsky – hence the bright colors, dreamy people, and
cubist perspectives. To preview her work go to: www.stephanieclair.com.
The wine dinner and exhibit begins at 6:30 p.m. with advance reservations.
Some proceeds from the event will be used for the medical needs of the
Kumiai in the village of San Antonio Necua. The artisan wines featured at
the "Artisan August" event will be Chardonnay from Roganto (Vides y Vinos
Californianos .S.P.R. de R.L), a clean and elegant wine created in stainless
steel tanks with no oak, paired up the a surprise from the culinary wizards
in Chabert's gourmet kitchen. Another wonderful artisan creation featured
during this event comes from JC Bravo of Valle de Guadalupe. Mr. Bravo will
present his "famous" Carignan, one of the most stunning artisan red wines to
come out of Mexico's premier wine growing region of Baja California, paired
up with one of Chabert's best culinary delights. The evening will conclude
following a superb chocolate dessert matched with an incredible (rare
limited production) Port (Oporto) from Moreno of Baja California. Don't miss
the exciting, educational wine dinner and art exhibit hosted my Steve
Dryden, Rosy Torres, and JC Bravo.
During the wine-dinner on August 3rd we'll be holding a silent auction of
Stephanie's work offering originals and two high quality enhanced prints.
Starting bids will be at $600. These paintings normally retail for $2100 in
her gallery. Some proceeds of the sales will go to fund medical treatment
for members of the Kumiai of San Antonio Necua in Guadalupe Valley.

Discussion in 'The Logo Creator' started by Laurie, Oct 10, 2013.
You probably don't realize this but this forum is primarily staffed by volunteers.... which aren't Mac users using Snow leopard. AS admin and moderators not being employees also doesn't allow us company updates or glitch fixes information before when you would get the news.
I'm a windows guy, and a volunteer. I am also waiting for an answer to an email I sent Microsoft back in 1993 when I bought win 3.0 on 3.5" floppies.
I know it can be frustrating not to get an answer to a question right away, especially if you are working on something important, but just Like KD-did said, Admins and moderators are volunteers.
The cost of the support you get: $0.00. Now you may be thinking "Well you get what you pay for", but by posting a question in the forum, over 20,000 registered users see your question.
When posting a question it helps to give the following info:
1. What software are you talking about?
2. what operating system do you have?
3. When did you purchase the software?
4. Where did you purchase the software?
5. Did the software ever work? Many times issues arise after Microsft pushes out updates.
6. Do you know how to use the SNIP TOOL in windows? If so, often times a picture with a help request is worth a lot of time in tryingto figure out your issue.
This was my original post:
I have read other threads with this problem but other people seem to have the previous versions and that seems to be the key in getting the elements to work….
I had bought a previous version in 2008. I no longer have that PC and have been working on a MAC for a couple years, I just bought TLC and the business card pack as an add-on yesterday and I do NOT have the elements- NEED HELP. Can't seem to find a fix for this anywhere!
I have a 2010 Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard, if this helps…..
FIrst, was that not enough information?
Second, I realize and appreciate that the moderators are volunteers. However, the Mac/Snow Leopard issue is NOT a new one. I have found posts as far back as April of this year all the way to 21 days ago. In April you posted that there is a known bug with this software running Snow Leopard and that you were working on it. I did find a post of yours where you posted a link to fix the problem temporarily and that it was not a full version of the software. That link did work for me, but after closing the program and opening it later, I had the same problem of no elements (and I understand the difference between elements and templates), I had to download the link again, now that link is invalid and when clicked takes you to the homepage of Laughing Bird…????
Have you fixed this issue for the full version? If not, since your website does not state anywhere this known issue with MAC, I would like a refund of my money for The Logo Creator and the Business Card add-on pack.
So you see, THESE reasons are why it is VERY frustrating not getting answers….
I totally agree with Laurie, I want my money back too if this is not fixed
Don't hold your breath! As you can see, no one replied after I responded to their sarcastic posts. They are quick to blame me and act like I didn't provide enough information from the start, not to mention unprofessional enough to state that he has been waiting since 1993 for an answer from Microsoft….as if not addressing an issue they were WELL AWARE OF is perfectly acceptable and professional.
I have emailed Marc several times regarding a refund….to no avail! So again, don't hold your breath!
Hi there Laurie.
Please forgive me for missing your letters.
I went looking for past letters from you and found a few in my IN box.
... you've been with me a long time (there was a nice letter from you in 2010!)
I've written you back with a solution.
I know the Snow Leopard issue is a pain.
But Snow Leopard is now 4 Operating systems old.
....there's since been Lion (10.7), Mtn Lion (10.8) and now Maverick (10.9)
The Logo Creator needs Power and Snow Leopard (OS 10.6) is getting old.
However, that's no excuse for missing your letters.
And I don't think KD above was being sarcastic... she's trying to help and I'm sure she gets frustrated.
So check your mail -- and let me know if offering you the latest version, or a Windows version (you mention you're also running Windows) is an option for you.
Hi Marc….
Yes, I remember writing you back then. I loved TLC and STILL think it's an awesome program! My husband and I had done a lot with it. That's why I didn't hesitate to buy it AGAIN and the Business card add on pack (since I have been a Mac owner for the last 2 years).
I agree that KD-did was not being sarcastic but nor was she being helpful and after asking for help 3x, supply the information he asked for in my ORIGINAL post and getting no response, I was completely frustrated. Your Moderator, gcuneo2 response was down right rude with that comment about him waiting since 1993…he could use a couple classes in "How to be Tactful" and "How NOT to piss a paying customer off while treating them like a dumba$$". It's just bad business. Jesus! I would never speak to a customer like that!
Anyway, THANK YOU for responding both here and email and THANK YOU for being nice…..
I've replied to your email

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
Lower Cape Fear Hospice has a goal to give away 5,000 free advance directive planning packets for National Healthcare Decision Day (NHDD) on April 16.
NHDD encourages everyone to discuss and document healthcare choices so wishes are honored. LCFH's Begin the Conversation program encourages everyone to do this before a crisis occurs.
LCFH will give away free kits containing information about advance directives, a Begin the Conversation toolkit, and resources to get free state-recognized advance care planning documents like healthcare power of attorney and living will forms. The public is invited to come by distribution sites on April 16 to get free packets.
There will be several distribution sites throughout New Hanover County: 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and 4-6 p.m. at New Hanover Regional Medical Center; 9-11 a.m. at Med North Clinic on North Fourth Street; 8 a.m.-5 p.m. at New Hanover County Senior Center on College Road; 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at four Port City Java locations; 8 a.m.-noon at Wilmington Health on Medical Center Drive and in Porter's Neck; 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at the NAACP Health Fair at MLK Center on Eighth Street; 8 a.m.-2 p.m. at K&W Cafeteria in Hanover Center; and throughout the day at four locations on the UNCW campus. Other locations may be added.
"LCFH's Begin the Conversation toolkit is a fantastic resource, and every adult could benefit from using it," Nathan Kottkamp, founder and chair of NHDD, said. "Indeed advance care planning should be intergenerational because there is a need for advance care planning regardless of age or current health status."
Similar distributions will take place in Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Pender and Onslow counties in North Carolina and Horry County in South Carolina on April 16.
For information about distribution sites and times, visit www.lcfh.org or contact Jason Clamme at 796-7943. For information about advance directives and documentation, visit www.begintheconversation.org. For information about National Healthcare Decisions Day, visit www.nhdd.org.
Lower Cape Fear Hospice is a nonprofit agency that provides healthcare and comfort to people with advanced illnesses; support and counseling to families; and education in Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, Onslow and Pender counties in North Carolina, and Horry County in South Carolina.

His Diamond of Convenience Paperback
by Maisey Yates
Dmitri Markin meets his match! Twelve years ago Victoria Calder made a mistake that cost her father his business.
Now finally she has a chance to atone. And if that means going toe-to-toe with the arresting Dmitri Markin she's prepared to step into the ring...and put his on her finger!
Dmitri-ex-martial arts fighter, present-day pleasure seeker-is a man who likes to win.
The beautiful Ms Calder might have initially shocked him with her proposition, but there's more than one advantage to the deal she's proposing...If this dedicated bachelor is going to surrender to marriage it certainly won't be in name only!
Praise for Maisey Yates Sheikh's Desert Duty - The Chatsfield, 4.5* RT Book Review Yates' romance has all the bells and whistles: beautifully opulent sand-scapes and deadly desert dangers, and a haunted, penitent royal hero and determined, wrong-side-of-the-tracks heroine who may seem ill-fated but are a perfect fit.
To Defy A Sheikh, 4.5* RT Book Review TOP PICK Yates' desert tale is metaphoric magic, ripe with iconic costumes and sand-scapes.
But it's her handsome hero and vengeful heroine that rule every page in this murder-to-merger page-turner.
Brava!One Night to Risk it All 4.5* RT Book Review The story features humorous and passionate banter between a seemingly devious, yet noble hero and a hiding-behind-a-facade heroine.
The lovemaking is combustible, and the luxury-laden backdrops add to the tale.

we have a centralized spiceworks install set up.
Multiple client networks have devices that we reach out to and we have created an agent that we install for laptops that are out in the field to report back to us.
I am wanting to create a report that will email us weekly and tell us the last time certain devices have been online/checked in with spiceworks.
This way we know if a computer is having an issue connecting to us.
Please advise.

There is a Last Scan Time report that you could use as the basis of your report.
Dec 1, 2010 at 4:10 UTC
the only thing i seem to be able to do with that is create a list in which they repeat so if jjackson's last scan was on 12/1 it will show 12/1 but it will also show 11/30, /11/29 etc
Dec 2, 2010 at 9:42 UTC
I'm not quite sure what you mean, I wouldn't expect to see multiple dates per device for the Last Scan Time report.
If you go to reports and create a new one for devices, you can add the fields "Name" and "Last Scan Time". That will pull data from the devices table, where the last scan time per device is stored.

In IdoSell Shop, on a daily basis, we handle hundreds of thousands of on-line orders generated by thousands of our clients. Everything that we describe in this section really influences the Polish and the Global e-market.
Online stores often ask us about the product exchange module. We often explain that product exchange is nothing but returning a product and making another purchase. Since sellers often have problems with understanding how to organize exchanging one product to another, we believe that consumers may have an even greater problem with that. That is why we added the ability to place a separate link explaining the exchange policy as an additional text over the first page of the return module.read more

Bidding For Gehl May Heat Up Againby
The buyout action at Gehl (GEHL), a maker of agricultural and light-construction implements, is far from over. A month after this column reported on Nov. 27 that Gehl was a buyout target, a group led by CIC Investments and Newcastle Partners made an offer of 18 a share. The stock was then at 11 and has since gone up to 14. But the board rejected the offer outright, arguing that 18 "was not sufficient to measure up to the value it believes is available from pursuing other approaches."
A shareholder lawsuit has been filed, accusing Gehl of failing to give the bid fair consideration. CIC and Newcastle, which already own 6.4% of Gehl, aren't going away and may yet raise their bid, sources say. One investor believes Gehl may be talking with a possible white knight--in case CIC and Newcastle mount a takeover or proxy fight. Japan's Komatsu is said to be interested in Gehl. Heartland Advisors, which owns 8.5% of Gehl, favors a sale of the company. Heartland President William Nasgovitz, in a second letter sent recently, reiterated its stance and assailed the board for not maximizing shareholder value. Stay tuned.

Home › Forums › General Forums › Food, Hydration, and Nutrition › Recipe: Greek Beef w/ Lemon Couscous
Jan 16, 2010 at 10:15 pm #1254192
JR ReddingMember
We adapted this from a meatball recipe and tried it out this week in the dehydrator to see how it would fare. It's tangy with good flavor.
Greek Beef
1 C. Bread Crumbs
1/4 C. Whole Milk
1/4 C. Feta Cheese Crumbled
1/4 C. Fresh Parsley Minced
2 T. Scallions
2 t. Oregano
1 Egg Slightly Beaten
1 T. Minced Garlic
1/4 t. Red Pepper Flakes
1/2 C. Kalamata Olives, sliced
1 Pound Lean Ground Beef or Ground Chuck
Take all ingredients except the garlic, red pepper, olives and beef and mix well into a bowl. Add beef an d thoroughly mix together. In a large fry pan use a tablespoon or two of Olive Oil and heat to medium high. When heated, saute' olives, pepper and Garlic for two minutes then add beef mixtures. Cook beef thoroughly, drain and dry in dehydrator at 120 until complete. (Time depends on your model of dehydrator) A low temp slow dry works better for this mixture due to the Feta cheese.
Pack in freezerbag and rehydrate with boiling water. Generally just enough to cover the beef works, but you may need slightly more. We've found that 15 minutes in a FB cozy is usually enough.
Lemon Couscous
3/4 C. Dry Plain CousCous
3/4 C. Chicken Broth (one bouillon cube and 3/4 c water)
1 T. Olive Oil
1/4 C. Water and 6 Tru Lemon packets OR 1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
Package Couscous in a freezerbag. Bring other ingredients to a boil, then add to Couscous in a cozy – Couscous only takes 5 minutes.
Mix the beef and couscous together for a good meal.
In addition, if you feel up to carrying the additional ingredients, top it with this sauce:
Feta Yogurt Sauce
1/4 C. Feta Cheese crumbled
1/4 C/ Plain Yogurt (may be able to use yogurt powder)
2 T. Lemon Juice (can use 2 Tru Lemon packets)
1/4 t. Black Pepper
Just mix together the ingredients and pour over meat and CouscousJan 17, 2010 at 5:15 pm #1563743
Kathleen BMember
@rosierabbitLocale: Pacific Northwest
Nice one, Joe. I've got most of the hamburger mix in the oven drying. I held some out to go with some couscous for dinner. Even though I don't have any feta cheese, it still tastes very good and is a tasty combination of flavors. I'll pick up some feta and pack it separately, since it missed out on being in the hamburger mix. Thanks for a great idea!Jan 19, 2010 at 2:31 pm #1564267

Glad you like it! I fell in love with the lemon Couscous. I normally don't care for it that much.

Camped in a 35 foot fifth wheel on site 112. Led to site. Site long enough for rig & truck. Across lane from woods & non-awning side of site is distant from neighbor, & grassy. Some well trimmed trees provide shade. Required one board to level. Site is large, clean stone with grass, nice picnic table. No AT&T cell coverage (outside park & up road got coverage), slow WiFi, six antenna TV channels. Very quiet & dark at night. Restrooms well maintained. Did not use pool, but looked clean. Nice walking areas in woods & around large campground. Large playground, basketball & volleyball courts, horseshoes, miniature golf, fishing ponds. Ohio route 97 from Interstate 71 is rather narrow & is well marked. Watch for Bunker Hill street sign past Butler village. Campground is on the right if coming from route 97. - Scottsdale RVers

We've stayed here 5 years in a row for Memorial Day. Our grandkids live nearby and this is how we start our summer. There are great activities for the kids.

Halloween themed weekend. Several activities planned (pumpkin carving, costume contest, haunted hayride and haunted house). Costume contest was very disorganized and rigged since the winners were all same family. Haunted House and Hayride was fun and pretty scary. Had a backin site in the 90's, which were gravel and it sloped up hill more than one could really level out properly. This area is really nice part of Ohio and the campground is well maintained. Roads to the campground are a little winding and rolling so you have to use caution getting to this one...especially if you arrive at night. - DoubleEE

This is a no-frills campground, but we loved our stay. Lots were large and level. You are right off a Rails to Trails bicycle path, which is level and well maintained. The Owners were top notch in friendliness. They bent over backwards to make sure we were settled in and happy. They have free river tubes, so you can take a ride down the river you are right next to. How often does that happen that you don't have to pay for the extras? Great fun. This is a keeper on our camping book. - Let'sGo!

This is a good place to camp. It's plenty big enough if you have a large group that want to go camping together. If you don't have a boat, it can be difficult finding things to do here. It is predominantly lake involved. The lake has no hp limit, so you see all kinds of boats. The shower facilities are OK. They are older, but have always been clean. If you have horses, they have a huge area for campers and horse trailers. They have a lot of horse trails. Not our favorite place to go, but we will definitely go back. - asnodgra
Aug 2008 - $15.00
The rate of $15/night was a special rate for this particular weekend. The campground and the setting is beautiful. The roads are all paved, the sites are well marked. We had a back-in site and it was difficult to back in due to the amount of kids on bikes and adults just walking beside the trailer as we were trying to back it up. A little unnerving, and inconsiderate. Our area of the campground was very noisy. I thought it might be because of the low rate, but other people who have camped there have told us that the campground is always noisy. We like the park and campground, and will camp again, but during the week or in off-season. - Jeff & Diane

Pleasant Hill is a place that I have mixed feelings about. If we feel like letting loose and having a few adult beverages, then it's fun. If we feel like relaxing in the peace and quiet and not exposing the kids to too much partying, then it's not the place to go. My parents have a seasonal site at Pleasant Hill, so we go there a couple of times a summer on our own and camp near their site. We always have a good time, but don't necessarily sit much while we're there, which can be good or bad. There's a lot of socializing and events. The roads are all paved, which is great for the kids riding their bikes. We always are there on holiday weekends and the place is packed. The park rangers are always driving around, so don't even think about breaking any rules. In section B, there are mostly seasonal sites, so you may feel like you're invading someone else's party if you camp there without knowing someone already. Stick to C or D if you're not wanting to feel like an outsider. The lake is beautiful with lots of speed boats and water skiing, which is fun to watch. If you're not into partying and socializing, maybe Pleasant Hill isn't the place for you. If you enjoy letting loose, then check it out. - atwelch

Very clean, and we came at the right time of the year when the leaves were at their peak color. During the time we were there, they kept the grass mowed without being intrusive. We had a slight problem with our motorhome. We walked up to the office to say that we would not be able to leave before check out time. They were very understanding and even gave us a phone number to call to get some help. Will definitely be going back. - SueO

Very narrow asphalt sites with grass between each one.
Outdated water and sewer connections. A wooden wedge was required to keep the spring loaded water valve open.
Laundry room was not clean. Appliances were old and rusty but the price to laundry was very reasonable. The location was beautiful. Campground had a playground and a pool. Satelite reception was spotty. - lauraslytle

This park is one of the most family friendly state parks. The pool, splash pad and play ground are top notch. Its hard to get sites at this campground in the summer and quickly sells out 6 months in advance. The ice cream shop is also a must stop. - 4n6

A very nice campground that we spent 2 nights and very quiet. The only concern was where they had us park, the site was not level at all...our front wheels were a front up in the air to get level...don't really like that. Everything else was fine. - CMcgirr
Oct 2010 - $25.00
This park is not convenient for the overnighter, but I suppose could be a nice destination park for families. That said, however, while the grounds seem well taken care of, the shabbiness of the many seasonal trailers was far from welcoming; certainly wouldn't want to be parked next to one of these. Thankfully, we were only here overnight, and will not be returning. The only reason I rated it at a "2" is because it does have water and electricity, but that's the best one could say about this place. - Stella's Mama

I will pretty much ditto the other reviews about this campground, with dirty showers, brown water, and unenforced quiet times. I actually think the water made me sick. It was so bad that even after filtering it through a charcoal filter, we still ended up buying bottled water from a local store for drinking purposes. We stayed from a Thursday through to Monday. The site itself was actually pretty nice; level, adequate sized, and right on the river with easy access to the water. Other that the water being nasty we thought things were quite nice -on Thursday. Then came Friday night. The name of this campground on their web page is River Run "Family" Campground. You can throw the word "Family" out; this place is party central. The drunks in the site next to us stayed up and played drunken games (with an ax no less) until the wee hours of the morning and language that no child should be exposed to. There was no enforcement of the 1100pm quiet hour anywhere in the campgrounds. We stayed over until Monday and finally on Sunday evening we finally got some quiet and serenity. However when we got ready to pull out on Monday, we discovered that the dump station was full and running over.....we had no place to dump our tanks! I want to the office and at first they said sorry but there's nothing hey could do. I wasn't about to pull 2.5 hours with full tanks, I was preparing to pull down the street to the next campground and pay them to dump but the honey-dipper truck had just showed up for the full timers and they -camp management- had them come over and pump us out too. The only good things I can say about this campgrounds is that it is located close to all the Mohician River activities; the swimming pool was nice (cleaner water than the drinking water); and the site on the river was nice. Other than that I can not recommend this campgrounds, especially for families. - campdaddy
Aug 2013 - $33.00
The campground needs work. The sites were mud pits and too close. water is brown. Bathrooms are inadequate in number and filthy. There are a total of three bathroom sinks and three showers for 240+ camp sites. Fee is way over priced at $33 plus per night. We camped all over the country this year and this was by far the worst campground in terms of basic cleanliness and amenities such as water. - Len00lisa
Aug 2011 - $34.00
We do a lot of camping & this campground is our least favorite. We had read a review that people stayed up late making a lot of noise, so we called prior to reserving & were told that an 11 PM quiet time was strictly enforced. Not true. The people next to us stayed up until 2 blasting music & drinking. No one ever said anything to them. The showers were dirty & smelled bad. The bathroom was loaded with bugs & spider-webs. The fresh water was brown. The staff were RUDE & not helpful. When asked a question, their replies were little more than grunts. I seriously cut myself in the shower. Because of the bleeding, I wanted to let a cleaning person know. When I did, she could not have shown less concern acting as if I was more than a nuisance. We will not return to this campground. - ctaft

We were here with a group or would have not selected this facility. The bathrooms are falling apart. The campground is activity oriented not so much RV oriented. Lots of cabins. Fire rings in use smoldered so bad it was difficult to stay outside at night time. Many restrictive rules plus you must sign an agreement that releases their liability even for neglect. It contains a arbitration clause and they insist that you wear their wrist band for the duration of stay.
We will choose not return to this facility in the future. - Travelall

Good: Location (across from Canoe livery), clean restrooms, great service staff, indoor pool, fishing.
Needing Improvement: Sites are tight and navigation in and around campground tight, Lake not clean enough or me to swim in with lots of algea and moss floating on top. - DoubleEE

This is one of the quietest little parks I have ever camped at! The view from our campsite (right on the water) was amazing! My kids had a blast at their playground area. This is one of the smallest campgrounds I have been to, yet my father-in-law had no trouble maneuvering the 40' 5th wheel around the lot. There were a lot of seasonal campers here and they had a camp wide yard sale while we were there. The lake water was very nice and the 10hp restriction on boats made it nice for those who were kayaking. - Permacamp

We stayed at this campground with friends for a local Octoberfestival. Great service and most of the time the owners are in the camp office. Most sites are seasonal guests, but great access to the river. - sadkins6

We stayed right on the river, it was very peaceful. This park has many seasonal campers and most must be big Ohio State fans, lots of OSU flags flying. They set up a TV in the pavilion and had a big bon-fire during the game. The sites were on the small size. Toilets were pit latrines. Each lot is serviced by back to back electric and water hydrants. Close to Amish towns and farms. - myriad
