LABOR DAY WEEKEND WINE TRIP
It’s time to get out of town and visit some wineries over the long weekend. People have called recently looking for recommended road trips – check out our website for some itineraries. In case you haven’t visited in a while, here’s what you’ve been missing! Hope to see you this weekend!
TEXAS FINE WINE MISSES YOU
We miss you! Unfortunately, our winery tasting rooms remain closed, but we are still busy with guests picking up wines, wine deliveries, virtual events, and of course, harvest! Wine production and harvest does not slow down despite the pandemic, and so far, this year’s fruit looks fabulous.
2020 HARVEST UPDATE
In a bit of a turn of events, the Texas Hill Country along with other parts of the state look to dominate this year’s wine harvest due to an unexpected fall freeze last October in the Texas High Plains, which caused significant damage for some large High Plains vineyards that historically provide the bulk of fruit for Texas wineries. As a result of the low yields and excellent vineyard management, however, the Texas High Plains vineyards are expected to deliver high-quality fruit.
