The ‘Hottest’ Wine Trail in Texas is Off Hwy 290!
Goodtaste.tv
There’s no way around it: the way we taste our Texas wines has changed. We’re now America’s No. 5 wine-producing state! If you haven’t heard the buzz on the Fredericksburg Wine Road 290 as of late, it’s time to hit the trail. This serene stretch of road along US Highway 290 near Fredericksburg, Texas is being compared to the Napa of 30 years ago–a higher level of development, growth and quality. Up for an adventure (and some best wine in the state)? This is where it’s happening! The thirteen Texas wineries found along this route specialize in home-grown hospitality, with newcomers to the neighborhood like Messina Hof adding to 290’s already esteemed reputation with 3 Top of Class Winners at the 2014 San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo. We’re getting ahead of ourselves, however. The first stop on our Goodtaste tour of 290 landed us at 4.0 Cellars.
4.0’s impressive facility is a good starting point. They’re tasting room is a lively spot with plenty of foot traffic. Here you’ll taste award-winning Texas wines from three different producers: Brennan Vineyards, Lost Oak Winery, and McPherson Cellars. Talk about saving some time on travel (and gas!). They also do a fun ‘Texas Cheese & Wine Experience’ – Texas cheeses from Veldhuizen Cheese Company paired with five wines selected from 4.0 Cellars.
Up the road, maybe 200 yards, is the aforementioned Messina Hof Winery & Resort. One of the pioneers of Texas wines, standouts include their Cabernet Franc Private Reserve as well as their crisp, clear and pleasantly sweet Angel Riesling.
Just across the highway – and a place that’s always intrigued me – is Dan Gatlin’s Inwood Estates Vineyard. Dan is a bit of a renegade and works extremely hard to elevate the status of Texas wines. A MUST, according to Dan, is that a wine needs to say ‘Texas’ on the font label or it is not a true Texas wine. Inwood is known for its Tempranillo, but also doing some really great work with Cabernet — which has immense potential largely untapped in Texas.
We made fast friends with Inwood’s on-site bistro. Be sure to stick around for something to munch on…
Chisholm Trail Winery -- Fredericksburg, Texas
Heading west on U.S Highway 290, one will notice many wineries on your way out to Fredericksburg. But don't stop there, keep on going! Because located in a small valley a few miles west of Fredericksburg is a winery with wines worth the company of some wood fired pizza. There is a healthy mix of white and reds, and a few sweeter dessert style wines on the tasting menu. While here, you also should check out their new wood fired pizzas as they make a great addition to your wine. Here, you'll find a winery with a western theme and wines that reflect the western culture of this area; Diablo, Lone Wolf, Silver Spur, just to name a few. No need to look at your watch when out here. It's easy to get caught up in the laid back setting of the Corral watching longhorn cattle grazing and listening to the winds of the Hill County making their own country-style music.

4 0 Cellars in Fredericksburg Texas
Excellent atmosphere for wine tasting!
4.0 Cellars is a collaboration between three Texas winemakers – Pat Brennan of Brennan Vineyards, Gene Estes of Lost Oak Winery, and Kim McPherson of McPherson Cellars. With this brings a plethora of different Texas wines from as far west as Lubbock to as far east as Burleson. This pretty much covers the state of Texas.
When we walked in there was live music and the backyard was ROCK'n. Heads up, Saturday's get really busy. The prices were comparable to all the other cellars/vineyards in the area. I tried the Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 (Brennan Vineyards). It was very good and I recommend it if you like Cabs.

Hill Country vineyards expect 2016 harvest to be best crop in years
During the spring, San Antonio was hit with a few hail storms, but the hill country was mostly spared. That was a plus for vineyards, including the Kuhlken Vineyard, which produces the grapes used for the wines at Pedernales Cellars and Armadillo's Leap.
