TEXAS WINES GET A PUSH
Go Texan or go thirsty!
So says the Texas Department of Agriculture in a new campaign to promote the state’s $1.7 billion wine industry. It’s urging Texans to visit restaurants that serve Texas wines and to encourage those neighborhood restaurants that don’t carry Lone Star vintages to do so.
You can find restaurants that stock Texas wines at gotexanwine.org.
A quick check of the list shows that Carmelo's, Haven, Rio Ranch, the Backyard Grill, the Burger Shack/strong> and Saltgrass Steak House are among the Houston restaurants offering Texas wines.
