Grape Creek Vineyards (written Jan 14, 2010)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
Grape Creek has a wide variety available, and many are fairly good. But their prices reflect a pride that may have swollen beyond their product a bit. Nonetheless, I was very pleased with their Merlot, even though I tend to relegate Merlots to the bottom of my list of favorite reds. So if the prices don't seem a touch too high for you, you'll enjoy several of their offerings.
Becker Vineyards (written Jan 14, 2010)
Wine: Winery: Ambiance:
Becker sports a wide variety of wines, but the best ones are only available at the winery itself. Among these are the Barbera and the Cabernet-Syrah Reserve. The 2006 vintage of both goes well with a good cut of red meat, and each will hold up to a peppercorn steak. Plan ahead, as you won't find these latter two wines in your local store. Other Becker wines are decent to good by Texas standards, but none seem particularly memorable, although there are some good values in their selection.
