Susan Auler of Fall Creek Vineyards: Hill Country Advocate Extraordinaire

Susan Auler of Fall Creek Vineyards: Hill Country Advocate Extraordinaire

Susan Auler of Fall Creek Vineyards is my distinguished guest today. Susan and her husband Ed are often called the first family of Texas wine. You’ll hear Susan share the story of how a trip through France in the 1970s laid the groundwork for the Aulers going all in on Texas wine. The industry would certainly look a lot different if not for the Aulers' many contributions.

I’m also sharing the latest news about the Texas wine industry. We’ve got results from USA’s 10Best reader poll, and there are several new educational opportunities that will give you a chance to up your Texas wine game.

Cheers, y'all!
