I was not compensated to write this post but did receive 2 complimentary tickets to the festival. All opinions are my own. It’s that time of year again! On Sunday, April 22nd at the beautiful Horseshoe Bay Resort, Texas’ finest winemakers and wine lovers are all …
Local, local, local. That has been the theme for Wine of the Week lately because I’ve discovered how displaced Texas’ reputation for winemaking is. We have the 2nd largest viticultural area in the United States- that says something, but we don’t get nearly as much attention …
