    Top Texas Wine Stories of the Year

    Big-time Texas wine press from top local, state, and national wine writers.Hickory Sands AVA perfected by the TTB. (Llano Uplift AVA was perfected in 2022).Many Texas wines did very well in competitions, and white wines fared especially well. William Chris Vineyards was named one of the Top 100 Vineyards and Wineries.Harvest yields were huge.It was a great year for Texas wine festivals and events.The Texas Wine Lover app debuted.Lots of education was delivered through seminars and symposiums. More Texans than ever (or so it seemed) decided to become Specialists of Texas Wine (levels 1 and 2), Texas Wine Ambassador Certification, and WSET courses. Bravo!Plenty of winemakers were on the move.Winery tasting rooms opened, and some closed. Others moved locations.The State Fair of Texas changed direction in the wine garden, and Texas wine only represents 13% of the formerly 100% Texas wine list.
