The Wines of Texas: A Guide and a History

"The Wines of Texas is a breezy excursion through the history of Texas winemaking; a trip as pleasurable as sipping good chardonnay. With admirable writing skill and prodigious research, Sarah Jane English chronicles Texas winemaking from its earliest days near Spanish El Paso to the renaissance in bloom today. In the process, she introduces us to Texas viticulture pioneers and takes us on an armchair tour of modern Texas wineries—the next best thing to visiting them in person." —Governor Rick Perry.
