Wine Tasting At D.H. Lescombes Winery (Formerly St Clair Winery) In Deming, NM
There wasn't a huge amount of stuff to do in Deming itself during our 10 days there, although the city did serve as a good home base for everything else we did in the area. One claim to fame that Deming does have is that it's home to New Mexico's largest winery. Once known as … [Read more...] about Wine Tasting At D.H.

Hotel Review: Hampton Inn Deming, NM
Our final stop in New Mexico after two months there was the city of Deming. Deming isn't really a destination in and of itself (sorry Deming!), but we chose it for a couple of reasons.

Visiting City Of Rocks State Park In Faywood, NM
Our final 10 days in New Mexico were spent in Deming. We didn't pick Deming because of it being a hotbed of activity (it's not), but because there was a hotel which was great value when using points, plus it put us within two hours of lots of places we wanted to visit. One … [Read more...] about Visiting City Of Rocks State Park In Faywood, NM
A Day Out In Truth Or Consequences, NM
One of the most distinctly-named places in New Mexico is the city of Truth or Consequences.

Restaurant Review: La Posta de Mesilla In Mesilla, NM
If you saw the photo of Truffles from when we visited PistachioLand, you might have noticed that her fur was pretty long. As a result, a couple of days after we arrived in Deming we drove over to Las Cruces for her to be groomed. That gave us a few hours sans pup, so Shae and … [Read more...] about Restaurant Review: La Posta de Mesilla In Mesilla, NM
