trees. The place may be different than most wineries in and around Grapevine, but you’ll definitely love the unique character it has to offer. The winery itself serves both Cross Timbers and some other Texas wines, as well as wines from Mexico. It was opened in 2000 and is owned by Don Bigbie. There are four whites and four reds to choose from for tasting under the Cross Timbers label. Their grapes are sourced from the Texas High Plains and the wines are all quite good and will pair well with the cheese and cracker plates they have available. A special treat that you will get here are wines from one of the oldest wineries in North America - Casa Madero, Mexico! The Casa Madero wines have that classic deep, rich, full body flavor for red wines. You may come here for Texas wines, but don’t be surprised if you walk out with a few Casa Madero wines, too! This winery also serves some lovely sparkling wines, though they are not available for tasting, they are available for purchase. This is a delightfully intimate small venue that is a lovely spot to stop in and get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Grapevine crowds and just relax with a glass of wine and some company. Expand your wine horizons and step out and try something new by sampling some of Texas’ and Mexico’s wines here.
Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.
