You might think of the State Fair as being more of a biergarten kind of place -- but lovers of the grape will also have a place to gather during October, which is Texas Wine Month. The State Fair of Texas Wine Garden will let fairgoers explore the world of Lone Star winemakers. The state has 135 wineries and 210 commercial vineyards in operation, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture, which is presenting the wine garden with sponsorship by Kroger. There will be scheduled tastings throughout the Fair, which starts today and goes through Oct. 21. Experts will answer questions and conduct "Wine 101" classes for those who want to learn more. You can find the Texas Wine Garden on Nimitz Drive, across the street from the Creative Arts Building. |
