Perhaps you’ve heard about the last year’s Hill Country Wine & Music Festivals first time wine and food pairing event (check here). It was a night of fine outdoor dining, live music and excellently paired Texas wines with Chef Terry Thompson Anderson and writer/author Dr. Russell Kane providing their interesting stories about what made the wine and food match.

Well, get ready for the 2013 Re-Match: Texas Wine Tasting and Food Pairing Evening with Book Signing (Friday 4/26/2013, 6:00-9:30pm) at the National Museum of the Pacific War’s Ruff Haus located at 205 Elk Street in Fredericksburg. The price of the event ($100 per person) includes one copy each of both Dr. Kane’s book, The Wineslinger Chronicles: Texas on the vine, and Terry Thompson Anderson’s book Texas Hill Country – A food and wine lover’s paradise. Books will be personalized and autographed. Now, that’s a heck of deal!

The event will be hosted by Terry and Russ who will guide you through an enjoyable evening, tasting fine wines and delectable foods from Texas. This will be an opportunity to taste a diversity of wines and styles that are making a wine for Texas and distinguishing it from other major wine producing states. Wines will include:
