Adrienne Ballou's Texas Wine (and Beer) Journey
You may know Adrienne Ballou from her time at a couple different Hill Country wineries, most recently Southold, or from her own label, Lightsome Wines or from Nice n Easy, the bar she co-owns in Johnson City. She's got an interesting background and a lot to say about Texas wine,
In Texas wine news, I’ll share some holiday wine deals, some great press for Texas wineries, and dig a bit deeper into the winners at the Houston Rodeo’s Uncorked International Wine Competition.
Cheers y'all!
