Texans take pride in just about everything, and that includes both native Texans and those who, as some like to say, "got here as soon as they could." But wine? Texas ranks fifth in grape and wine production nationally behind California, New York, Washington state, and Oregon. The state's wine industry contributes more than one billion dollars annually to the economy, with more than 3,700 acres of grapes and 180 wineries, with that number growing every year. Cheers Y'all takes a look at the lure and lore of Texas winemaking past and present. A whole new world of wine welcomes readers with a hearty, "Howdy, y'all. Pull out a glass."
