Watch Wines of the Desert - New Mexico

Wines of the Desert New Mexico follows winemakers and other creators who enrich the culture of New Mexico. In this 2009 film by DHP Multimedia, winemakers like Henry Street discuss how established wine-making has been in New Mexico. Starting about 400 years ago, New Mexico is the oldest wine-producing region in the US. Although wine has been made here for centuries, wine-making in New Mexico can be difficult. The alkaline soil, high altitude, and extremes in weather, which are more like the Midwest than California, all help to create certain challenges for wine producers but also unique wines for consumers.
