Central Texas Wineries Episodes

Today you’ll hear from Phil Lopez of Silver Spur Winery in Hico. He’s a Texan who got into wine while living in California. Phil is most at home in the vineyard, and you'll love what Phil has to say about Texas wine. After 62 episodes, finally someone wore a cowboy hat to the interview. But first, the Texas wine news. VinePair continues to share some love with Texas wine country and Texas wineries. Lubbock radio stations promote Texas wine, Cheramie Aho wins a grant for her wine work, and Amie Nemec writes an article for Texas Monthly exploring why wineries might relocate to Texas. Cheers y'all!

Valley Mills Vineyards winemaker Joey Bagnasco joins me to discuss growing grapes in Bosque County and making wine in a beautiful three-story gravity flow winery right outside my hometown of Waco, Texas. In Texas wine industry news, there's a major award nomination for McPherson Cellars, a new tasting room for a popular Hill Country winery, national recognition for being a trendy wine region, and more. Cheers, y'all!
