Cheryl took us down to Old Mesilla (mess EE ya) for some Mother's Day excitement.

Where Billy the Kid was tried and sentenced to hang, and then they sold souvenir ropes and chile magnets.

We then went for a wine tasting. There's a picture of it, but: unflattering. Yes, even compared to the pictures I AM showing you. St. Clair Winery of Albuquerque. Their Riesling won first prize and their Something Red won silver and their ma'am, can I call you a cab? ...zzz I do remember that it was all very tasty. Surprise: New Mexico is wine country, New York Finger Lakes Region! Are you jealous?

It's okay, New York State wine country, New Mexico doesn't have Bloomer Creek Vineyards or my lovely Katy-in-law, Katy.
