Thanks for pulling this list together, Jeff. Lots of great #TxWine on this list. And lots of great #Txwine NOT on the list too! I see many familiar names, and plenty of wines here I have never tried. You’ve certainly visited all these wineries, right? Any surprises from the selections? Of course we don’t know which wines were submitted and not recognized, but anyone wanting to get a jump on the current state of Texas Wine should start with this list!

Thanks Miguel. I have visited all the wineries but I would think most of these wines are current wines, so I may not have had the chance to try them. And of course with other wineries we don’t see listed, they may not have even entered the wine competition.
I have been to Texas several times last year and have visited many of the wineries there. I have tasted all but a few wines from this list and in all honesty, these wines have earned their awards. Regardless of the harsh and hostile conditions the regions are subject to,Texas wines have come a long way and are constantly developing in quality. Yes the Texas wine scene is still in its developing stages, nonetheless, these wines have a promising future. FANTASTIC JOB! GO TEXAS!!!
