My wife and I will be travelling through southern New Mexico in late September, too late for the Labor Day weekend chile festival in Hatch, NM I've heard so much about but never been to. Are there other compelling reasons, other than to buy the locally grown chiles, for meandering north from our I-10 route back to sunny SoCal. Also, this morning on the mexican-cooking newsgroup I frequent there was a post about vineyards and wineries around the Las Cruces, NM area. Anyone know if they're worth a visit? -- Rich McCormack (Poway, CA) macknet@pacbell.net Who is Rich McCormack? Find out at... http://home.pacbell.net/macknet/
