TXwine Twitter Tuesday, May 26th 7-8p CT – Texas Cabernets & Chardonnays – Taste-Tweet-Repeat-Retweet & Hasta Luego!

Join us on May 26th 7-8p CT for our final installment of #TXwine Twitter Tuesday for right now. Texas winery tasting rooms are starting to open up again – three cheers for Texas wineries and consumers for weathering the Corvid-19 storm. This week we are featuring your favorite Texas Cabernets (Sauvignon, Franc and blends) and Chardonnays.

For this week’s tasting, please focus on Texas Cabernets which are made in many forms: Single varietal wines, Bordeaux-style blends (with Merlot, Cab Franc, Malbec and Petite Verdot and sometimes Carménère, and Tex-Med Cabernet blends with Italian, southern French and Spanish grape varieties.  Texas Chardonnay is a difficult “animal” to corral due to many vineyard and climatic factors; but, when it is made right, it has proven to be outstanding. You make your selection(s) and show us what’s in your glass. Remember to Taste-Tweet-Repeat-Retweet!

If you are looking for Cabernet or Chardonnay ideas, check out these two links (here for Cab and here for Chard) from Jeff Cope’s Texas Wine Lover Blog.

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.
