Texas Vineyards and Wines

[Zinner]

Greetings,

It's been awhile since I tasted Texas wines, but I've heard good things about Becker Vineyards out of Fredericksburg, so you might want to see if they have something to your taste.

Really, I'd encourage sweet wine lovers anywhere to investigate the local stuff. Most states have some wineries and outside of the main wine producing areas of California, Washington and Oregon, those wineries will likely have some sweeter wines because American tastes tend to run to sweet.

There's a whole world of German Riesling to explore...just be sure to avoid the bottles that designate "trocken" or "halbtrocken" on the label because those are vinified dry.

You might also like Moscato d'Asti if you're in the mood for something a little fizzy. And many Chenin Blancs(Vouvray on the label, if it's French) have some sweetness.

Quady makes some very nice dessert-style wines called Electra(orange muscat) and Elysium(black muscat).
