I recently spent an afternoon with Chris Benziger touring his family’s beautiful vineyards. The Benzigers are not only farming their grapes organically but also biodynamically.

The fifth WineCast episode features Franklin Houser of Dry Comal Creek Vineyards and Winery in New Braunfels, Texas. He discusses Black Spanish, a red-fleshed grape that is highly resistant to Pierce’s Disease, making it a good match with Texas’ hot and humid climate.
