Top Texas Wineries: An Opinionated Guide for Wine Tourists

Editorial Reviews

Review

”Compact, authoritative and controversial.” Glenn Dromgoole —Abilene Reporter-News

”Chalk focuses on 43 wineries that he believes are making the best wine using Texas grapes. And then he narrows the list to what he considers the sixteen ‘best of the best’ and writes longer profiles on those wineries. One of the keys in determining which wineries made the author s list is that they refrain from selling wines labeled — in small print — ‘For Sale in Texas Only,’ indicating a wine not produced from Texas grapes.” —Lone Star Literary Life
