Texas Hill Country Wineries Hit Dallas

by Andrew Chalk

The winemaking heart of the Texas wine industry is the Hill Country. Over 70 wineries there are members of Texas Hill Country Wineries, the industry trade group. Usually, the wineries focus on making and selling wine from their wineries and tasting rooms in places like Fredericksburg and Johnson City. However, once a year they come up to north Texas and that gives Dallas winelovers a chance to taste a lot of good Texas wine.

This year, 21 wineries presented, using the superb Frontiers of Flight Museum adjacent to Dallas Love Field airport as the location. Attendees had two hours to sample the wines and talk to the winemakers and tasting room staff doing the pouring. Below is a photo composition of some of the wines.
