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.

Mondavi Crush
What a fun weekend! Rob and Lydia Mondavi recently invited me to their ‘Crush for Beauty’ event in Napa. It’s a big day because Rob harvests the cabernet grapes from his Osso vineyards for his wine, and Lydia uses everything but the grape juice for her 29 Cosmetics.
Fall Creek Vineyards
I’ve got a fun road trip for you today. It’s one of Texas oldest wineries in the beautiful Hill Country near Lake Buchanan.
Check out Fall Creek Vineyards – It’s about 20 minutes north of Marble Falls. Ask to see their famous Louis Pasteur doors.
More to Mondavi Than Wine
The entire wine world was saddened this spring by the passing of Robert Mondavi. He was a visionary – a passionate, innovative entrepreneur who created the most famous winery in California.
Becker Vineyards
If you want a true Texas wine experience with about the friendliest people you’ll find anywhere, Becker Vineyards just east of Fredericksburg is the place you won’t want to miss.
