Russ’s book, The Wineslinger Chronicles, has received critical worldwide acclaim for its literary, historical and engaging treatment of the Texas wine experience starting with its beginnings near El Paso in the 1660s, the period of emigrant farmer/winemakers the 1880’s, and its growth into a modern wine region in just the past 30 years. Readers have said that Russ’s stories made them feel like they were there in person to experience memorable events, talk with great people, and taste internationally award-winning wines that have made Texas the fifth-largest wine producing state in America.

“Doc Russ is the kind of guy who can mix blues, barbecue, and Barbera in a truly Texan way, and as he writes I can smell the mesquite smoke, hear the wailing  guitar and chew the High Plains ripe red fruit. Right on Russ!” —Oz Clarke, author of Pocket Wine Book and 250 Best Wines Wine Buying Guide

“With wine now made in all fifty states, the gift of the gods is on the way to becoming a national drink. In The Wineslinger Chronicles, Russ Kane tells the tale of Texas wine in an educational, friendly style. . . . So sit back and enjoy both Texas wines and Kane’s book.” George M. Taber, author of Judgment of Paris

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.

  1. The menus does look good, doesn’t it! It should be fun too. I’ve pulled a few excerpts from The Wineslinger Chronicles that should fun for the attendees and one that I will lucky if I can read without tears in my eyes.

    Be sure to let me know, how you like the book.

    Cheers,

    Russ
