what an incredible showing for Texas!
Always is!!
How does this San Fran competition differ from the San Francisco International Wine Competition? Reviewing the winners some TX wineries entered both competitions and others only entered (or at least only medaled in) the San Francisco International Wine Competition.
Love the site!

Good question, and I do not know other than different organizations holding it. But I do know there will be something coming up soon from Texas Wine Lover about them. Thanks for following!
Thanks for posting these. I find them incredibly helpful when choosing a Texas Vineyard/Winery I haven’t been to before. I’ve got all the results for the past few years in a spreadsheet and then I filter the winery and variety on what I’m looking for. It’s lead to lots of enjoyable little adventures. (I’m such a nerd 😉
Thanks for the comment. No, you’re not a nerd. Look who’s posting them! 🙂
