Description

Texas’s 350-year wine story continues to be reaching its savory peak. Spanish colonists can have come to the state to spread Christianity, but under visionary Father Fray Garcia, they stayed and raised grapes. Later immigrants brought their very own burgundy tastes of home, creating a singular wine country. When a North American pest threatened European vines, it used to be Texan scientist T.V. Munson who helped save the industry in a foreign country. When Prohibition loomed stateside, Frank Qualia’s Val Verde Winery in Del Rio survived by selling communion wine and is now the longest-operating bonded winery within the state. These days, tourists flock to Texas vineyards, and the state sells more wine yearly. Sign up for local experts Kathy and Neil Crain and sample the untold story of Texas’s wine industry.
