A Short Drive to a Texas Vineyard


This is a post I had planned to write before Christmas. With all the holiday plans of family visits, I simply ran out of time to post.








The winery is an example of true entrepreneurship. The owner had an idea and pursued that dream of growing her own grapes and making wine.

I thought I might show you what a Texas vineyard looks like during the winter months, with plans to return as the seasons change.

In talking with the owner, she let me know it is not as glamorous as one might think. It is hard work...and, she and her husband do most of the work.


The first big job of the season will be to prune the vines just before spring. Timing is everything. Isn't that the same in our own spring gardens...a late frost can take us by surprise!


The vineyard's Wine Tasting Room, where I bought several bottles of port to give as Christmas gifts.

I hope you will come back and visit with me, when the grape vines are in bloom....
