Last week, we were truly honored to welcome Jordan Mackay to Texas for a morning of w**e and conversation about the exciting evolution of Texas w**e.
We gathered at William Chris Vineyards, alongside the w**emakers from William Chris, Adega Vinho, and Ab Astris. It was a special opportunity to bring together people who are passionate about Texas w**e, share our w**es and perspectives, and celebrate the remarkable progress and potential of our state’s w**e industry.
Jordan, the award-winning author and journalist behind, “The Sommelier’s Atlas of Taste” among other works, has been telling the story of w**e for years, including writing about Texas w**e for Texas Monthly. It was incredibly special to welcome him back to Texas as he works on his new book exploring American w**e. His visit gave us an opportunity to reflect on how far Texas w**e has come and where it is headed.
We were also delighted to be joined by Jessica Dupuy, an accomplished w**e journalist, author, and educator whose work has appeared in publications including Texas Monthly, Forbes, Decanter, and W**e Enthusiast. Jessica is a true advocate for Texas w**e, consistently championing our w**eries, growers, and the people putting Texas on the map as an exciting American w**e region. We appreciate you arranging this visit!
We are proud of the w**es being made in Texas and grateful for opportunities like this to share our story with those helping shape the future of American w**e.
Here’s to Texas w**e, great conversation, and the exciting story still being written! 🍷🍾
