The Texas wines to try
If you’ve steered away from Texas wines because they don’t taste like Napa wines or French wines, it’s time to revisit the Lone Star vinos. A Texas cabernet will never taste like a Napa cab because the terroirs in the two regions are totally different—different soils, climates, etc.
Exploring Texas’ best wines
Wine is big business in Texas. There are nearly 200 wineries in the state fuelling an industry that has an economic impact to the tune of more than one billion dollars a year!
Romance at Sunset
What a romantic setting! Imagine a sipping a cold glass of champagne as you watch the magnificent sun set over the rolling Texas Hill Country. That’s the view at Francesca’s restaurant at the Westin La Cantera Hotel and Spa. But, the view is only the beginning—the food is fantastic.
Mojito Madness!
Nothing cools you down like an ice cold Mojito – the flavors of fresh lime juice, mint and rum are incredibly refreshing. The key to making the perfect Mojito is to use fresh ingredients and to avoid a couple of very common mistakes-don’t tear the mint leaves for starters!

Taste the best of texas wines at Westin la Cantera
Texas wines keep getting better and better. I believe the Becker’s outside of Fredericksburg deserve a lot of the credit for setting the bar higher for Texas producers.

Size Matters
Size and shape both make a difference in the way a wine tastes. I took a seminar put on by Georg Riedel (the Riedel Glass family) where he had us take an inexpensive white wine and pour it into five glasses of different shapes and sizes.
