–What is a Mediterranean grape variety?

–Which are “classic” varieties for Texas?

–Which varieties can best handle the hot Texas weather?

–Which varieties can also resist freeze injuries in winter and spring?

— What is the Mediterranean Profile? Do Portugal and Texas have anything in common?

–Do Mediterranean varietals offer better things for Texas winemaking: Wine styles, acidity, pH?

Love to taste, talk and tweet about Texas wines and where they are in the global scheme for wines. After all that's the only way they will reach the full potential.
