While driving back to Santa Fe from southern New Mexico, we happened upon a listing for a wine…read moretasting room in Belen. This was a worthy stop. It was Sunday evening and we rolled in about an hour before closing. There was a small group of locals hanging out. We ordered our tasting flights and were advised to grab some snacks from the table nearby. There were some fruits, veg, crackers, cheese and the most wonderful bread. The bread, we later found out, was made by one of the farmers who was hanging out for the evening with his wife. We complimented his bread making skills. The wines were delicious! I tried the 2023 Riesling, Petit Verdot Rosé, Desert Rose, Rio Abajo Red and the 2021 Norton. I am not normally a sweet wine person, but the Riesling and Desert Rose were delicious. We ended up purchasing a bottle of the Norton to take home and glasses were included with the tasting. We felt welcomed and enjoyed our conversation with the folks that were there.

The space is clean and nicely appointed. The large windows give it a light and airy feel. She inquired if she could help and I told her the details of what I was after. She didn't have the exact specific bottle of wine but offered a couple of close alternatives. She let me taste them and also gave me more information about each one. She was very helpful and I greatly appreciate how she handled the situation. I'm not much of a wine drinker myself but would definitely highly consider returning to enjoy a glass at some point.

The changes they are making at 1629 make it a must stop for dinner! A new menu provides some tasty options like the black truffle and wild mushroom risotto to go along with their signature pizzas.

I had high hopes for brunch at Casa Rondeña Winery, but unfortunately this was a disappointing…read moreexperience overall. We had a reservation for 11:30am and arrived on time, but ended up waiting outside for about 10 minutes with no staff in sight. We called multiple times for assistance before anyone came out. To make matters worse, the friend who made the reservation was never informed that brunch is held in the private club and not the e restaurant, which caused unnecessary confusion right from the start. Once a waiter finally found us, we were taken to the private club where we were told they only had three brunch menu items available that day. We ordered immediately, along with waters and mimosas. Keep in mind, there were only two tables total--our group of three and another group of seven--so it wasn't busy. Despite that, service was extremely slow. It took 20 minutes just to get our mimosas, and our waters were forgotten and didn't come out until another 10 minutes later. Our food took about 40 minutes, which felt excessive given how few people were there. Even more frustrating, my friends' meals came out about 10 minutes before mine. There's really no reason meals at the same table shouldn't be served together. The food itself was just okay. The only standout was the French toast, which was actually really good--and honestly the only reason this review isn't one star. I also ordered coffee and was told they don't carry creamer, which is surprising for a place offering brunch. Our waitress rarely checked on us throughout the meal, which added to the overall lack of service. Between the confusion, long wait times, and lack of attention, this experience didn't meet expectations. I won't be returning.

A Hidden Gem for Wine Lovers in Old Town…read more Stopped into Noisy Water Winery while walking around Old Town and it ended up being one of the highlights of the afternoon. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a really cool art-gallery vibe throughout the space. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time sipping wine and browsing the local artwork. The wine selection was impressive--lots of unique New Mexico wines to choose from, and the tasting flights are a great way to try several different varieties. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, offering recommendations based on what we liked and explaining the wines without making it feel intimidating. We also tried a cheese board which paired perfectly with the wine and made the whole experience feel a little extra special. Whether you're a serious wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun stop while exploring Old Town, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great wine, great vibe, and great service. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in the area.

The waitress took a long time to start taking our orders. To the point we all decided what we wanted. Then when she came she told us because our group was so large, they could not do mimosa flights. About 10 of the 15 people were all disappointed because that's what we literally went there for. The waitress was short with us and even when we asked for more water, she put two bottles down for the whole group. Which we went through quickly. The food was ok but the bar literally took almost 30 minutes to get the 4 mocktails to the table that were ordered. Overall it could have been just a bad day for them but I'm lucky I don't live in this city because I would never go back again.

Over 45 minutes total to even order, which is unacceptable. When my food finally arrived, it came without bread, so I couldn't even eat it. I then had to wait again for the bread and my wine. To top it off, when I asked for a to-go container, I was told they don't have any and was offered baggies instead. That's pretty unbelievable. Overall, slow, inattentive, and frustrating service. I won't be back.
