Roundtop 2014

 The Wine Gardner goes to Roundtop

Fall 2014

Warrenton, Texas tends to be the center of activity during the Roundtop Antique Show each afternoon beginning around 4:00pm.  It's the home to Zapp Hall, Royer's Cafe, The Legal Tender Saloon and formerly the world headquarters of The Junk Gypsies (who now call Roundtop their home).

Some people call Roundtop during the antiques festival, the happiest place in the world.  And why not?  You can find gardening goods, arts & crafts, rare antiques and many other one of a kind items.

Maybe the wine has something to do with the happiness.  There are local wineries, wine tasting events, wine shops and many places that offer free wine in the evening. Today someone told me that Miranda Lambert now owns a winery in the area and her father was at Royer's serving up free samples.  I picked up something today that I'll be using tomorrow.  It's a plastic wine glass with a spill proof top that you can drink from like it's a sippy cup and the other is a wine tote that holds 750ml of wine and is great for biking, hiking, backpacking and other events.  Tomorrow I think I'm 

gonna love the wine I'm with.
