On the Road with the Southwestern Wine Guy

Today's show will feature the health benefits of wine. New Mexico wine regions and the state's best wineries are summarized. The basic topic covered wil be reading wine labels.

The show features virtual tours of wine regions, with reviews of wines and restaurants I discover along the way. These include must-have wines and bargain wine recommendations. The format has a 10 minute interview with chefs that specialize in food & wine pairing, or with quality wine makers.

Food & wine pairing recommendations from chefs, wine makers, and other wine writers as well as my own favorite pairings are featured. Along the way I'll add food & wine pairing basics and wine appreciation basics. Listeners are encouraged to call-in or write me at Jim@jim-hammond.com. I will respond to every email question without fail.
