Something to Wine About
Texas has a long history of wine production and the state’s reputation is growing. The perfect sunny and dry climate of the major wine making regions in the state have drawn comparison to Portuguese wines. Some of the earliest recorded Texas wines were produced by Spanish missionaries in the 1650s near El Paso.
The state is home to over 36 members of the Vitis grape vine family with fifteen being native to the state, more than any other region on earth. As of 2006, the state had over 3,200 acres (1,300 ha) planted with Vitis vinifera. Despite being the largest of conterminous states, this relatively small amount of planted land is dwarfed by the production of even the smallest French AOCs like Sancerre.
The Texas wine industry is continuing its steady pace of expansion and has gained a reputation as an established wine growing region in the United States. Along the Highway 290 corridor between Fredericksburg and Marble Falls, there are dozens of wineries and tasting rooms. So clean your palette and treat yourself to some of Texas’ finest vineyard offerings.
