Jean Hoefliger on the Future of Texas Wine

Jean Hoefliger on the Future of Texas Wine

My guest is international consulting winemaker Jean Hoefliger who now works with clients in Texas. Jean was a keynote speaker at the recent Texas Hill Country Wine Symposium. In our interview, you’ll hear his enthusiasm for Texas wine and the future of the industry. In Texas wine news, I review the latest Texas wine press, recent wine competition results, and tasting room openings. Plus, an invitation from Women For WineSense national president Donna Schlosser-Long to join the organization for a May conference in Fredericksburg.
Cheers y'all!
