Nice to meet ya Rory.. It looks like we'll be in this venture
together.. Where exactly is Lucas?? My mini vineyard is in Poteet
just south of San Antonio.. In my area, I don't think that I can grow
Syrah, although I would love to...

There is a place in garden ridge, Texas that makes a black Spanish
dry wine but he mixes cabernet on top... It is one hell of a wine..
Im going to try and squeeze the recipe out of him.. The vineyard is
called "The Vineyard" It is off 3009 in Garden Ridge, Texas one mile
past natural bridge caverns. They also have a really great
restaurant..

Take care, Bryce
