About: I am a middle aged woman who likes to go to wineries. I know a little about wine tasting, but I'm definitely an amateur. I tend to decide what I REALLY like rather than trying to like what people tell me I should like. My tastes tend toward semi-dry whites and blushes and semi-sweet reds, although I'm always looking for a red wine I'm willing to drink. |

Val Verde Winery (written Aug 14, 2010)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
Visited Texas for the first time this year. Made a visit to the oldest winery in Texas. They only have about six wines and two of them are made from the grapes grown there. Of them all, we enjoyed the Texas Rose the most although most of them were unremarkable to our taste.
Peninsula Cellars (written Aug 14, 2010)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
This was a nice stop in the peninsula. The person pouring our wine was informative about the different wines and the history of the winery and the building. We thought the names of the wines were quite clever--Schoolhouse red, Detention, Homework.
Chateau Chantal Winery (written Aug 14, 2010)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
This was our favorite winery on the peninsula. We wished we hadn't bought as much wine at the other ones. Beautiful setting, good wines, friendly but crowded. Reasonably priced!
Brys Estate Vineyard and Winery (written Aug 14, 2010)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
This winery has a beautiful facility. I found it to be slightly snooty. The guy pouring the wine was much more interested in the obviously richer/snootier people who were also tasting at the same time as us. Guess I can't blame him, although we did end up buying several wines.
