Have you been waiting for Texas's wine industry to reach the sophistication and refinement of California's? Well, too bad, this is Texas, y'all! However, it has reached a new level of maturity and synergy in which Texas wines have developed a distinctive personality recognized and embraced by chefs and wine enthusiasts alike. In this delightful compendium of Texas's many wineries, Rhonda Cloos explores the connections between the wine, food, and people of the Lone Star state. With recipes from wineries, Texas chefs, and the author's own collection, plus pairing guides, we get a lesson on what to serve with Texas wines. We also get an appreciation for the mavericks who began making wine on a couple acres here and there when others told them it would never work. With this book, Cloos has given us the new standard for eating and drinking, Texas style.
