 Massive Moorish-style winery |
733 Chavez Rd Albuquerque, NM 87107 United States +1 505 344 5911 http://www.vabq.com/ABQlinks/C... |
The North Valley is home to many impressive structures and Casa Rondena Winery is one of the most unique. This Moorish castle encloses a huge wine making operation that produces respected cabernet and sauvignon wines. The winery's Serenade is a fruity, slightly dry dessert wine. The owner and wine maker spent 20 years in southern Spain, where he learned his art, and found himself enthralled by the Moorish architecture. Mountains and streams meander across the grounds that are surrounded by the giant cottonwoods of the Rio Grande Bosque. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Food & brew with a view |
3222 Central Ave SE Albuquerque, NM 87106 United States +1 505 262 2739 |
This brewery has rapidly established itself as an Albuquerque favorite. It is located in a stylish old car dealership whose former showroom serves as the tavern. Everything about it drips with nostalgia, but not to the shameless point of reducing it to a cheap tourist attraction. A huge outdoor patio makes for a perfect perch overlooking historic Route 66. Burgers, soups, salads, steaks, and even lamb shanks line its menu, with most items costing under USD8. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Suds, Salads & More |
3755 Southern Blvd Albuquerque, NM 87124 United States +1 505 994 9497 http://www.turtlemountainbrewi... |
This place is well worth the drive to Rio Rancho. Choose from 18 different Calzones, cooked to perfection. You will be delighted with the pizzas that are flavor-packed with a thin, delicate crust. The salads are gargantuan and fresh. Desserts are rich and substantial with treats like a warm Double Brownie. The brew-master micro-brews a half-dozen types of beer, including a snappy Rootbeer and a sparkling Cream Soda. Buy a 64 oz. Jug for USD3 or bring in your own jug and refill it with your favorite soda at this "kid friendly," informal pub. Review © 2007, Wcities |
