Texas has really stepped up its game in recent years when it comes to winemaking. One of my favorite Texas Wines is produced right here in Central Texas. Kick Butt Cab. The name says it all!
Kick Butt Cab is produced in Johnson City at the Texas Hills Vineyard. The vineyard is located 1 mile east of Hwy. 281/290 on RR 2766. http://www.texashillsvineyard.com/index.html Don't be surprised when you stop by for a tasting if owners Gary and Kathy Gilstrap personally pour your wine. If you're real lucky, you'll meet their dog, too.
On your way back home, make a quick stop at Whittington's on Hwy 281 South for some of the best homemade jerky around. My son is quite the jerky connoisseur, and he begs to stop here whenever we're in the area. It's not cheap, but it's worth the splurge. http://www.whittingtonsjerky.com/index.html
** If you want to try some Kick Butt Cab but don't have the chance to personally visit the Texas Hills Vineyard, I have found it at the local Spec's Liquor Store. http://www.specsonline.com/
