Believe it or not, the Rio Grande Valley has its own very first winery, Jaber Estate Winery. Now all that hot weather and rich soil, which supports a variety of agricultural products, can now claim grapes, which will lead to a new industry to an area that desperately needs it.
The Mission…
Last fall I went back to Texas for the first time in four years. I just moved back from Italy so my taste in wine was a little… spoiled. But after a few tastings in a few different towns along the Texas Wine Country aka Hill Country, I can honestly say they are doing something good with wine in Texas. If you have a chance this spring go check it out. Anyone else out there know what I’m talking about?
