On a school night?!

 

Been posting the Wine Road Tour album to FB, and , and , and soon, .

 

Did you try any Ports on your trip. I like Tawny Ports.

 

No, only Messina Hof had any, and a Port by that time would have been …… an issue! It was interesting, and a lot of the wineries out there are NOT using Hill Country grapes - they do make the wines there - but many come from the Texas High Plains - think Lubbock, Amarillo, and a little South. Weather is more cruel, but is more predictable than Hill Country, and their soil is apparently PERFECT. Hill Country is "close" but more variable. Between Johnson City and Fredericksburg, there are TWENTY currently operating. Google the Texas Wine Road (Highway 290). We made three, with a taco breakfast (Wineries don't really open mostly until 11, some at 10.) Even though they are but a few minutes apart, you would be hard pressed to do more than 6 in a day - with lunch stop, and not just gulping. It would be a fun research project to learn them, and then take friends to the best, but, who knows who what someone will like.
Add it to your "have to visit" list tho, because you do. We had a lot of fun.

 

And remember, and Autumnal Mead will get you the stocks!

 

Dang, that is a gorgeous truck. I think last time I only complimented your (old guy) hard work!

 

Sounds like a great time! 11 am! Your crew sounds like our wine crew. 12 of us did some damage one afternoon at a local winery. That was the day I discovered Ports are generally 20% and taste like melted grape lollipops.

 

Small crew but same concept. Here is the "start link", and the maps can be found on "Wine Road 290". My friend Verne cross referenced this with I think something from "Wine Connoisseur" magazine or something. He wanted to get to Becker, but we ran out of steam.

Oh, and you can't go around telling people that ports are generally ###### or you will never complete more than two stops!
We actually learned as stupid hippie roadie teens, that's for your evening "cigar" and bed time!

 

you can certainly go with us!

 

HEY Maner how did it go today Updates?

 

That's bad ass! We like trying different wines. And we're definitely not snobs.
