The Lincoln County War, which raged during 1878 until 1881, included many famous participants such as Pat Garrett and William “Billy The Kid” Bonney. Billy was a member of the Tunstall-McSween “Regulators” and a number of them took refuge in the Ellis Store during a five day gun battle. Billy was later held in house arrest at the Ellis Store awaiting his pardon from Governor Lew Wallace.

New Mexico Wine
New Mexico is not only known as the “Land of Enchantment” or green chile and outlaws. Over the last years, the wine and champagnes of New Mexico received worldwide recognition for their excellent quality and flavors. This should come to nobody’s surprise. While the Roman Empire spread the culture of vineyards in Europe 2000 B.C., the Spanish Conquistadors and especially the monks brought their favorite vines to the territory of New Mexico as early as 1629 to grow in the shadow of their monasteries and
churches. By the 1800s the Territory of New Mexico was fully wine country. Visitors and locals can enjoy today a generation of wines that are well-established and benefit from the sun-drenched soil and the cool desert nights. Here a little guide, how to pair the delicious specialties of the New Mexican kitchen to our locally grown wines: Tip: The spicier your dish – the drier your wine should be. The smoky adobe-based sauces call for a fruity dry Merlot. The traditional Tacos, Taco Salads or Enchiladas (red) pair perfectly with the Nebiollo, whose semi-sweet and tannic finish adds to your dining experience. Any dish with green chile (from Green Chile Stew to Enchiladas) will be enhanced with a delicious sparkling Cava champagne or a refreshing Riesling. But do not forget, it is you who decides and you can pair your favorite wine, Tequila or one of the local Micro-brew beers with any dish you like.
