"LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO DRINK CHEAP WINE"

WHITE BLACK SPANISH IV - Table Wine

A most unusual blush wine - semisweet, fruity smooth and drinkable at any time with anything!

Dry Comal Creek Vineyards has made this blush from estate Black Spanish grapes and white grapes of Muscat of Alexandria and French Colombard.

750ML - Alcohol 12.5% — at Dry Comal Creek Vineyards and Winery.

Demi-Sweet Sparkling Wine

Here’s a sweetie. This 50/50 blend of French Colombard and Muscat of Alexandria is a treat for your sweet tooth. Candied aromas of confection sugars, flowers and vanilla. The body is full of lemon with hints of pineapple and orange zest. With its long sweet finish of vanilla bean and mild acid, this wine is destined to be served with wedding cake.

2011 Foot Pressed Red - $13.99

A rich, smooth light red wine with fruit, full mouth feel and light tannins. The back label lists the individuals that personally "foot pressed" the grapes on a hot Texas afternoon at our annual grape-stomp.

A fine light red wine "demi-sec" with fruit, full mouth feel and light tannins. This wine is fresh and should be consumed as early as possible. Serve at room t

emperature or slightly chilled as preferred. This bottle is also a great base for Sangria or Gluhwein, making it a good head-start for your own creative urge.

A blend of Black Spanish and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes makes this a fun signature wine for sipping or mixes it up with grapefruit soda to make your very own Sangria or Mulled (Hot Spiced or Gluehein) Wine.

2010 Sauvignon Blanc. - $18.99

An absolutely first-class Sauvignon Blanc, bone dry and crisp in mouthwatering acidity. There’s great delicacy to the mouthfeel, with stony, mineral flavors that add tang to the lemon verbenia, rose petal and grapefruit. With citrus, convection sugar, more mineral and great acidity on the finish, this wine just begs to be paired with your favorite salads, fruits, a

nd spicy dishes. Go ahead and throw in a jalapeño just to enjoy its Texas roots. A star attraction of this wine is our very own. We have customers try this wine with Jerk Habanero jam, cream cheese and crackers to demonstrate how well it goes with spicy foods such as spicy chili, curry and even wasabi. And for those pure Texans, this wine goes fabulously with nachos piled high with jalapeños.

Gooseberries, melon, talc, apple, and flint make this extremely smooth, rich brisk Sauvignon Blanc a true "Texas Style Wine."

50 States of Wine

50 States of Wine 
Sipping Across the US

As voters across the country head to their local polling stations to cast their votes, it seemed like an apropos moment to remember that all 50 United States produce wine.

From Alaska to Alabama and Maine to New Mexico. Every American can sip a wine from his/her home state this Election Day.

This is easy to pull off in Washington, Oregon, New York, Virginia, Missouri, Michigan andTexas--and easier said than done in places like North Dakota, Florida or Montana. But a winery might be nearby. Go to CatchWine.com for Google maps of each state's wineries--you might find some fun surprises.

For example, there's pineapple wine in Hawaii. In the colder, non-coastal northern states you'll find icewines as well as wines made from locally grown fruits such as apricots and plums--even rhubarb.

If you prefer to stick with grapes, Texas and Arizona produce solid, quaffable reds made from varieties such as Merlot, Sangiovese and Tempranillo. In the heartland you'll find manyhybrid varieties, as well as plenty of Norton, the grape that dominates Missouri winemaking.

If all that seems too daring, remember that you can't go wrong by uncorking a California sparkler such as Gloria Ferrer or Iron Horse to toast this election night.

Have you had a great wine from an "unexpected" state? Tell us about it here.

And most importantly, don’t forget to vote this election day!
