This Is Texas Wine

Dan and Maura Sharp: Replanting The Vineyard at Blue Mountain in Texas Davis Mountains AVA

Episode Summary

I made a trip out west to interview today’s guests. The Texas Davis Mountains AVA has been on my radar for quite some time, but I had never actually been there just recently. The highlight of my trip was sitting down for a long chat with Dan and Maura Sharp, the inspiring couple that’s replanting the historic Vineyard at Blue Mountain. They're on a mission to create world class wine from the highest elevation vineyard in Texas (5600' feet). In Texas wine news, I'll recap the recent VinePair articles that highlight Texas wines, share some takeaways from recent educational events I've attended, and share what two major publications are saying about Picpoul blanc. Cheers y'all!
