LPGA Star Rosie Jones' Favorite Albuquerque Places

gwar02_rosie_jones_my_town_thRose Jones is the 53-year-old former LPGA player won 13 titles, with victories that spanned 17 years (1987 and 2003). Although she was born in Santa Ana, Calif., and has lived in Atlanta for years, her heart--one of her biggest attributes as a 13-time LPGA winner--remains in Albuquerque, where she grew up and first made a name for herself in golf. She also competed in seven Solheim Cups (11-9-2 record) and captained the 2011 U.S. team. While currently playing on the Legends Tour (where she has won four times), she oversees Rosie Jones Golf Getaways, a high-end golf-vacation venture.


In a recent article in Golf Digest she is quoted to say, "My all-time favorite Albuquerque restaurant is El Pinto, a traditional New Mexican-style restaurant that's a local institution. The menu is fantastic, and they make their own salsa and mixes. Unbelievably, I saw a bottle of their Green Chile Sauce in Skaneateles, N.Y."


Thanks for the support Rosie. We are always pleased to see you when you are in town. And don't be surprised to see El Pinto Salsa and Green Chile on your local grocery shelf. We are in all 50 states but not quite in all grocery stores in all 50 states (yet).

REMODELED Premier Party

Meghan-1
The Premier Party for "Re-Modeled" is at El Pinto with the star of the show Meghan Wiggins, a model who is from the "505" but is jetting from Paris to New York with her new-found career as a future supermodel. There are a very limited number of tickets available to the public. Email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to get on the list.

Re-Modeled, a new reality show by CW premiering during sweeps week, is hosted by Paul Fisher. He is a legend in the modeling industry, making his mark during the heyday of the "supermodel" era in the 1980s and early 1990s,. With his bigger-than-life personality and often brutally frank opinions, he earned his reputation as a star-maker through his uncanny ability to spot the potential superstar in a group of inexperienced young models. Now he's taking his passion for the business and focusing it on bringing small agencies from around the world together under his new venture called The Network. The Network will give Fisher the leverage he needs to change the industry from the inside out, with multiple missions in mind: to make sure the small agencies no longer get screwed by the big boys, to create the next generation of supermodels, and to empower those models to take control of their careers and lead healthier lives. Along the way, Fisher and his team will not only make over the offices of the agencies that join The Network, but will work with the owners and their staff members to find a true star in each market.

Thank you from Iraq

Air-Force-Iraq

El Pinto:

I would like to THANK YOU on behalf of the Iraq Training and Advisory Mission - Air Force for sending the case of salsa to our unit here in Iraq. I was so excited to share a little taste of home with my unit--they loved the salsa!  Some of the folks I am deployed with have been stationed in New Mexico at some point in their career and were excited to partake in the "REAL" New Mexico salsa once again.  Your generosity really means a ton to us out here and we truly appreciate it.  I will be home in two weeks on a 15-day pass; I hope I can thank you in person but for now I hope this email will suffice.

Very Respectfully,
Capt Maureen Trujillo
