Four Texas wineries join to promote Texas wine tourism


This just in from EscapeHatch friend and certified sommelier Denise Clark in Austin:

Four of Texas’ most distinguished wineries – Bending Branch Winery, Brennan Vineyards, Duchman Family Winery and Pedernales Cellars – have launched a new marketing initiative called “Texas Fine Wine” to promote their award-winning wines as some of the best in the state and their wineries as top wine tourism destinations.

“Texas Fine Wine represents a distinctive group of highly respected wineries recognized for making quality Texas appellation wines, delivering excellent customer experiences, and setting the highest standards in the Texas wine industry,” says Fredrik Ostenberg, co-owner of Pedernales Cellars.

The Texas wine initiative unofficially got its start with the first-ever Texas Hospitality Suite at the 2013 TEXSOM Conference, a two-day educational and tasting conference wine professionals and enthusiasts.  Texas Fine Wine will host a hospitality suite at this year’s TEXSOM, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary.

Going forward, the privately funded group will host and attend special events and tastings for media, sommeliers, retail buyers, wine educators and wine enthusiasts to provide opportunities for these wine professionals to experience quality Texas wines and meet its winemakers.

All four wineries have achieved significant successes in terms of winning awards from some of the most prestigious national and international wine competition, as well as offer exceptional programs for customers including wine clubs, special wine dinners, and winery events.  Here is an overview of outstanding wine awards and other accolades:
