Wine of the Week: 2008 Becker Vineyards Viognier

The stars at night, are big and bright, deep in the heart of Texas…

I know, I haven’t done a weekly update in a while. Deal with it. I’ve been busy, between work, Wine Tour, Easter, and anything else you can think of that I’d rather be doing. However, there are a lot of wines in [...]
