What a lucky year it has been! So many new wines to write about lately, not
to mention the number of new wineries opening up has seemed exponential. The
quality and variety of wines being produced never ceases to amaze us. It’s not been the same-ol’, same-ol’, but
always something new and surprising. Certainly, the ever-changing weather has
had a strong influence on wine production. For Texas wines, two record hot
years in a row, 2022 and 2023, should yield some fine future vintages. Some of
the first 2022 Rosé wines released are already hitting those high marks as
a memorable year. It has been exciting to see a handful of wineries start
crafting Piquette and the rise of Teroldego in Texas has been surprising and
exciting. For 2023, the Instagram account has been “re-kickstarted” which will
focus on the theme, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, and will have mostly
wines we try out, but not necessarily a full review (www.instagram.com/wineofthemoment).
As with all things in the tech world, nothing stays the same. We have launched a Threads account with a
focus on “sneak peaks” for upcoming wines to check out (https://www.threads.net/@wineofthemoment).
For the next year of blogging, look for more old-world wine postings to compare
with some of the new up and coming Texas varietals being released. As always,
it has been a great adventure and we excitedly anticipate many new ones that
lie ahead of us. Hopefully, we may run into some of you on our great wine trail
exploration and adventures. In the meantime, stay cool, stay calm, stay open to
new experiences and trying new varietals, and keep your glass at least half
full of some amazing wine. Cheers!
