If you are a lover of Texas barbecue, come along with us -- and please feel free to share. Today's Taste cover is the tale of a bus tour around some of Texas' legendary 'cue joints, with renowned Roadfood writers Jane and Michael Stern leading a few dozen of their hardcore fans. The pictures alone are guaranteed to make you hungry. Don't miss Nathan Hunsinger's wonderful video chronicle of the trip. Now -- what are the best places for barbecue in the Dallas-Fort Worth area? And don't forget to tell us where they are, and why you love them. PS: Texas Monthly's upcoming issue has its own roundup of Texas' best BBQ. See what editor Evan Smith says in this letter. And they found a new champion in the unlikeliest of places: Snow's Barbecue in Lexington. Never heard of it? Nor had the Monthly. No wonder: Snow's is only open four hours a week!

Yeah, yeah, they give out 365 of these every year. But it's still cool when a local blogger, in this case the Significant Other, makes the cut. Italian wine maven Alfonso Cevola's blog is called On the Wine Trail in Italy, and today's post is "Which Wine with Seersucker?" Check it out here. Comments (2) Leave comment

| E-mail entryThe entry "Local wine blog snags Google Blog of the Day" has no entry tags. I care not a whit if Barefoot Bubbly sells a single yellow, pink or blue bottle in Dallas. Why? Because some enterprising marketeer decided it would be a clever move to call this California sparkling wine "Champagne," as in the famous region in France that produces real Champagne. What a way to undercut the efforts worldwide that have gone into identifying and protecting appellations (unique growing areas), including those dear to Gallo, which is responsible - or should I say irresponsible - for this wine. This move undercuts any credibility the wine family might have had and calls into question all their high-minded talk about stewardship, sustainability, fine winemaking. Yada, yada, yada. All to push a cheap bubbly. For that price point - about $10 - you can have a nice little Italian prosecco or Spanish cava. Try one. You'll like it. Comments (0) Leave comment
