Doc Martin's

Taos


Hang out where Bert Phillips (the original Doc Martin's bro-in-law) and Ernest Blumenschein cooked up the idea of the Taos Society of Artists. Sit by the kiva fireplace, pop a cork on an award-winning wine, dive into the chile rellenos, blue-corn chicken enchiladas and pan-seared trout, and maybe you'll be inspired to great things as well.
