The Judgment of Houston Redux
With all of the talk about our recent Drink Local Wine Conference and Texas Twitter Taste-Off, I have had many emails that ask about other times that Texas wines have gone head-to-head with top rated (90+) wines from other parts of the known world. About a year ago, I posted a three part blog mini-series about a wine competition that I organized in Houston in 2004 that became known as the “Judgment of Houston”. The highlights from that blog series are given below with links back to the complete articles.
In reflection, I think that Texas wines have evolved in the positive direction since 2005 when we held that taste-off. Overal quality of the wines in the Texas Twitter Taste-Off was excellent.
