Glena Yates, president of the Texas Wine and Grape Growers Association, joins me to share some history of the organization, information on recent challenges and staffing changes, and what TWGGA hopes to accomplish in the next legislative session.
In Texas wine news, I’ve got the scoop on a big California winery moving to town, wines purchases that support charitable causes, and which Texas winery makes the Top 100 Worlds Best Vineyards list for 2022.
