Texas wines keep getting better and better. I believe the Becker’s outside of Fredericksburg deserve a lot of the credit for setting the bar higher for Texas producers.
I’ve got a fun road trip for you today. It’s one of Texas oldest wineries in the beautiful Hill Country near Lake Buchanan. Check out Fall Creek Vineyards…it’s about 20 minutes north of Marble Falls. Ask to see their famous Louis Pasteur doors.
This delicious lemony delight was voted one of San Antonio’s TOP TEN desserts in the San Antonio Express News. The Gruene Door next door to historic Gruene in New Braunfels is a wonderful restaurant with some really nice folks like the pastry chef who agreed to share her award winning recipe with you.
With the Texas Hill Country as our backyard, we sure do have it so good in San Antonio! I love this time of year as the Hill Country takes on new life with wildflowers blooming along roadsides and trails. And after our rainy winter, this spring promises to be spectacular. But it’s not just wildflowers […]
Diva Night in Boerne this week was a huge success and so much fun. All of Main Street stayed open late with fun shopping, champagne and some delectable truffles. We were a group of about 13, and we rented an incredible limo from Lone Star Limos to drive us to and from the shopping event. […]
There’s a delightful new restaurant in Gruene, Texas…actually just down the road from historic Gruene—The Gruene Door. The food is wonderful! And yes, they have a nice wine list too. Check out the beautiful glazed salmon they prepared for us.
When the request came in this week to judge a cake baking contest I immediately said yes. Afterall, it’s cake…it’s bound to be good. Turns out this contest wasn’t about the ‘taste’ of the cake but more the ‘technique’ of decorating the cake. Four of the six custom cake decorators at the HEB Plus at […]
There’s a virtual goldmine right in our own backyard. Texas wineries! Texas Hill Country wineries have reason to be particularly proud. The Texas Agricultural Department asked me to host their first-ever video podcasts called ‘Go Texan Wine’, and they turned out to be a fascinating learning experience. I was surprised to find out that the […]
Okay get onboard. Texas wines are in the news. Time to visit a local winery and see what all the buzz is about. The Lone Star International Wine Competition wrapped up with good news for some Hill Country producers. Grape Creek Vineyards near Fredericksburg won 9 awards…one of those what’s called a ‘Grand Star’. Another […]
I love this little laid back town. Nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, Luckenbach is a true Texas gem.

Once a month Texas oldest dancehall, Gruene Hall, puts on a show like no other. This popular two-stepping, toe-tapping hangout is the place to be the second Sunday of each month for its Gospel Brunch.
Every week on Q101.9 FM I do a fun segment called Weekend Preview that lets you know what food and wine events are going on around town…motivation to get your weekend started! It could be a free wine tasting somewhere or maybe a special offer from one of my restaurant partners on my website. I’ve […]
What a great time of year to visit Gruene, TX just outside of New Braunfels on the Guadalupe River. Whether you’re hungry after a fun day on the river or if you’ve got a large group of people and want a great place to hang for a few hours, head to the Gristmill Restaurant.
The Westin La Cantera Resort has it all – a beautiful getaway nestled in the Texas Hill Country. Nearby the exclusive Shops at La Cantera, Fiesta Texas, Sea World, the Texas Hill Country wineries.
I absolutely love Mozie’s, the new restaurant in Gruene, Texas. Pat Molak and the gang did an incredible job restoring this 100+ year old building. And the food is delicious. It’s hard to choose between the decadently, deliciously greasy sliders and the fresh chicken salad — then there are those amazing little ribs.
