Shout Out to Texas Wine in February Bon Appetit

Flipping through Bon Appetit's February feature, 50 Easy Ways to Eat Green, I was pleased to discover on page 83 that the magazine has suggested we all support our local winemaker in an effort to do better by the planet, culinarily speaking.  

Becker Vineyards is listed as B.A.'s Texas winery of choice, and by now I'm sure you're all aware of how much we here at DallasEats love Becker's Iconoclast Cabernet.  And that's just the tip of the iceberg!  With so many wonderful wineries to choose from here in North Texas and throughout the Lone Star State, I wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion.  Let's all pick up a bottle of Texas wine tonight, and raise our glasses to the greatness of eating - and drinking - green.

p.s.  Becker Iconoclast is widely available in Dallas at grocery and liquor stores and wine shops.  I buy mine at Kroger or Dallas Fine Wine & Spirits.  Click here, here or here for other Texas wine recommendations.  And there's plenty more where these came from!

Big Sale at Times Ten Cellars!

Just a quick note to give all our wine-loving readers a heads-up on some great wine at a great price:  

Times Ten Cellars in Lakewood is having a big sale right now on take-home bottles of their wonderful wines in honor of the upcoming election.  The winery is offering 20% off on all bottles to-go and an extra 10% off when you buy 6 or more.  Awesome!  They even pack 'em up in an adorable earth-friendly wine tote for easy transport.  Love it :)

As Texas Wine Month comes to a close, this is a perfect way to stock up on top-notch wines made right here in Dallas for the upcoming holiday entertaining season!

Drink Local Wine ... while you surf Drink Local Wine!

Pour yourself a glass of Lightcatcher Cab or Brennan Viognier - we've got a site you'll want to explore while sipping your favorite local vino:  

Drink Local Wine is Jeff Siegel (The Wine Curmudgeon) and Dave McIntyre's guide to the world of non-Cali wines.  Check it out to find thoughtful commentary and info on 16 states and Canada in honor of "Regional Wine Week", which is drawing to a close as we speak.  

Though designed with just this one week in mind, something tells me Drink Local Wine has staying power.   DallasEats loves the site and Siegel's mission statement: "Regional wine deserves respect!"  Right on.
