A Sip of Nostalgia at Monteviejo’s Breathtaking Montevista

New Year’s Eve 2020, in the depth of winter at our cozy cabin in the mountains, warming up around the fire place, we opened up the 2005 Linda Flor… it put us under its spell. It was in our top 5 most amazing, memorable wines we had ever experienced. We had to visit the winery that created this wine. Driving up to the winery was like a fairytale. It was breathtaking. The snowcapped mountains were brightly shining lit up by the sun in a cloudless blue sky.
