Wine Roads of Texas: Get on the road with wine (safely)

Unlike the recently discussed Westlake mothers driving with one hand and sipping wine with the other, the Austin Wine Festival is making it possible for you to combine the thrill of Texas roads with the taste of wine, all in a safely automobile-free environment.

This Sunday night, watch The Wine Roads of Texas, a documentary from KLRU and Wes Marshall that tells the story of Texas wineries in an engaging and informative manner. Beginning in Austin’s neighboring Hill Country, The Wine Roads then travels to the High Plains, West Texas, the Gulf of Texas, and North Texas. We’re in a big state, and that means big wine production. There’s no shortage of wonderful wineries to visit in the film—and in real life.

Wine personalities and places featured in the film include Alphonse Dotson (a former football player), Café 909 in Marble Falls (a food personality if ever there was one), Maiya’s Restaurant in Marfa, and Stephen Pyle’s Restaurant in Dallas. The film emphasizes the intimate relationship between food and wine, and educates viewers about the grape varietals of different Texas regions.

Wes Marshall will introduce the film, so arrive early to hear his insights on the process of making a movie about everybody’s favorite adult beverage: wine.
