About

This blog is in correspondence with the long-awaited third edition of The Wine Roads of Texas: An Essential Guide to Texas Wine and Wineries.  As before, the book will feature every winery in Texas, give information on its background, owners and wines, as well as provide helpful travel advice for each region.  The blog will run parallel stories to the book, featuring special interest pieces about vineyards, wineries and the people who make this industry great.

Author, Wes Marshall, writes for the Austin Chronicle, The Dallas Morning News, Wine & Spirits, Imbibe and others.  He is also author of What’s a Wine Lover to Do? and was Executive Producer of the TV series, The Wine Roads of Texas (PBS).  For this edition, he is taking Margaret Shugart into his tutelage.  As a nutritional anthropologist, Austin Chronicle writer, certified sommelier and devoted Texas wine drinker, she performed much of the travel legwork and writes most blog posts.  Together they hope to release the book by October 2013.

In the meantime, click ‘follow’, participate and enjoy a journey through one of Texas’ most interesting industries.
