This Is Texas Wine

Exploring Texas Wine History with Clay Roup

Episode Summary

Happy Texas Wine Month! Clay Roup is one of the founders of Texas Wine Club, and he has a special affinity for Texas wine history. Today we’re talking about history from the time of Spanish missionaries bringing viticulture to Texas in the mid 1600s through the TV Munson days. (Clay and I agree that every Texan should know about TV Munson!) In Texas wine news, there's news about new AVA proposals, a Texas wine has finally won the grand champion award at San Antonio Rodeo wine competition, and there are great scores and national recognition for several other Texas wineries. Cheers y'all!
