Phenomenal concept for a winery in Texas. Annette is loyal to great Texas wines, but also has a tremendous selection of non-Texas wines (California, the Northwest, etc)..

Then when sitting at the counter, you could see they had a date marked on a white wine in their chiller that had been opened on 12/16. Let me reiterate that - a white wine that was opened in December, that they were still pouring 2 weeks into January. I can't believe that they were not embarrassed to be serving that.
