Texas Vineyards and Wines

[hotwine]

Becker Vineyards out of Fredericksburg is indeed the best Texas producer I've found so far. Haven't tried them all by any means (there are now over 50 wineries in the state), but of the dozen or so I have tried, Richard and Bunny Beckers' products lead the pack.

The annual Texas Hill Country Wine and Food Festival was held in Austin about a month ago. That would be a good venue for sampling a wide variety of Texas wines; watch your local newspapers' food & wine sections mid-summer next year for ads.
