Randy Hester on Goals, Grenache, & What's Exciting About Texas Wine
On this episode, you’ll get to hear from Randy Hester of CL Butaud winery. He's got an interesting history that goes from Texas to California, then back to Texas again. His new tasting room, shared with Rae Wilson's Wine for the People brands, is turning heads. There's also lots of Texas wine country travel tips and an announcement about a winery for sale. Texas weather is in the news again too. Just when we get past a record-setting April freeze event, a hailstorm hits. Will Rogers said "The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn't still be a farmer." Ain't that the truth when it comes to our Texas grapegrowers!
