Kathy Rudolph Petrino is an enthusiastic traveler, of course, but she has more than a strong desire to see as much of the world as possible while she’s here. Kathy helpfully loves to write about everything she sees, and she loves to post everything on her travel blog for everyone to see. Kathy Rudolph Petrino knows that’s how you keep travel destinations afloat and appealing to visit again and again.
That includes one of
Kathy Rudolph Petrino’s favorite destinations anywhere, which happens to be Texas Wine Country.When people think about a vacation centered on wine, Kathy knows Texas isn’t usually at the top of their list. That’s why she wants everyone to know that the Lone Star State has been actively trying to improve its reputation as a wine producer. It’s working; Texas Hill Country has been growing some of the nicest grapes in the country and, as a result, dozens of Texas wineries are producing some of the best varietals in the United States. When one travels along Wine Road 290, they will discover a wider range of wines available than they thought possible, including many Tempranillos, Malbecs, and Cabernets. There are hundreds of state-of-the-art tasting rooms, and there are big music, food and wine events throughout the area. Many combine wine with great Texas barbecue with country and rockabilly music to lift your spirits in more ways than one.
