What a wonderful sight at the State Fair: a wine pavilion (back side of the Cotton Bowl) complete with tastings from select local wineries. It was a great opportunity to taste CrossRoads Winery's CSM, a blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah and mourvedre, poured by winemaker John Otis. Back in April, wine writer Wes Marshall mentioned how good this Frisco winery's red blend was, and I have to agree: It made for a rich, ripe, round mouthful with soft tannins, good on its own or ready for red meat, like braised lamb. Check it out: 4 tickets for a 2-ounce taste. It's about time the fair recognized Texas' growing wine industry, the same way you can get a heads-up on Texas food products in the Food & Fiber Pavilion. Very cool to see that Aye Chihuahua! has added rubs to its barbecue sauce line. Personally, this is where I buy stocking stuffers for Christmas, like salt-water taffy, flavored pecans and jerky (Dr Pepper flavor this year). |
