All Wines Point to Yes!
When you think of luxury wines, the rolling hills of Napa Valley, California usually come to mind.
While West Coast wines may have been all the rage for ages, Texas is quickly becoming the latest spot to find premium wine selections.
Let’s take a look at where our local wines can be found and what makes buying Texas wine a treat for those who love a glass to pair with the perfect steak from a Dallas steakhouse.
Texas Has a Wine Country
Texas Wine Country is located in the heart of Fredericksburg, Texas. It’s knows as “Texas Hill Country” because the rolling hills of local wineries provide the perfect backdrop for presenting some of the best wines Texas has to offer.
March, April, and May are the prime months for visiting our local wine country, but premium wines from the wineries in the area are available in stores and restaurants across the state to enjoy year-round.
What Makes Texas Wine Better Than Their Western Counterparts?
In Texas, we love our state pride and are eager to see the love extend to the wine we pour in our wine glasses at Y.O. Ranch Steakhouse.
Why should you choose a Texas wine over Napa, Oregon, or even Europe? Let’s pour a glass and tell you why…
Local is Always a Great Choice
While this point has nothing to do with taste, supporting local wineries is always a great move for local and state economies. The more you support local wines, the more wine producers can experiment with hot climate winemaking and create unique tasting experiences that make Texas wines a pour you can’t find anywhere else.
Shorter Seasons Create a More Pleasing Wine
Texas vines have a much shorter window for picking grapes and starting the wine creation process. This shorter season means that local wines won’t have the bold, fruity flavors that one would find from a longer wine season like those in Napa or other cooler climate regions.
Note that a shorter season isn’t a bad thing at all.
Texas wines have an earthier, smoother flavor palette that goes well with most any steaks.
Younger Grapevines Equal Untapped Potential
Since Texas is newer to the winemaking game, our vines are still on the younger side. While we can still create the complex flavors of older vines found in Napa, our younger age means that as our vines continue to grow and age, local producers can have more time to experiment with new flavors and blends that make Texas wines an even more unique experience.
Tempranillo is Our State’s Wine Namesake
Texas is known for its Tempranillos. This particular grape isn’t the first selection to grow in Napa Valley. We guarantee that this full-bodied wine will go down smoothly and leave your mouth enjoying a lingering, earthy, tannin flavor that brings out the signature taste of a Texas wine.
