Join in for TXwine Twitter Tuesday to Taste & Tweet Texas Tempranillos
Austin’s Denise Clarke (@DeniseClarkeTX), and Houston’s Jeff Cope (@TXwineLover) and I (@VintageTexas) invite you to join the next TXwine Twitter Tuesday at 7 p.m. Central Time on November 13th. This month we will celebrate Texas Tempranillo, the red grape of Texas, and if time allows, we hope to hear about your Texas wine month adventures.
We have an open tasting list for the event and ask that you select one or more of the following Texas Tempranillos and blends:
- Llano Estacado Cellar Reserve Tempranillo 2010
- Pedernales Cellars Tempranillo 2010
- Perissos Vineyards Tempranillo 2010 (available at winery/online)
- CapRock Tempranillo 2010
- Calais Winery Cuvee du Manoir, Tempranillo 2010 (available at winery/online)
- Alamosa Wine Cellars El Guapo 2010 (Tempranillo blend)
- McPherson Cellars La Herencia 2010 (Tempranillo blend)
You can also check your Spec’s, Total Wine or other local wine shops/markets and wineries for the Texas Tempranillo selection near you.
Once you have your wines, get a few munchies and invite your friends and fellow Twitter-buddies to join you. Have them bring another Tempranillo to share. Remember on TXwine Twitter Tuesdays, more wine and people mean more fun for all. You can also post photos of your Twitter party. Remember to taste, tweet and repeat!

Anyone do The CapRock Sweet Tempranillo?

The Sweet Tempranillo is what Jennifer and I had. It’s not that sweet and with the Thai food it was GREAT!
Come on Bobby bring it on for Texas Twitter Tuesday.
I’ve had it and like it. It reminds me of a Joven Tempranillo if made by someone in Beaujolais with all the great and fruity carbonic maceration and a hint of RS. Put in a few fruits and a few cubes and you got an out of sight summer drink too.
Fun stuff.

Tempranillo has so many faces and this one is SOOO attractive. Easy soft, fruity and the bottle is empty very quickly.
Will the market embrace Tempranillo? As I consult with new growers the question is “can the market handle MORE Tempranillo?” what say y’all?
