Wineries along Texas Hwy 290 between Stonewall and Fredericksburg are being dubbed "The New Napa". Indeed the soil and temperatures of this area produce some award wining wine to challenge the Napa reputation. More than 18 wineries dot the 290 highway beckoning you to stop for a tasting. Four of my favorites, Torre di Pietra, Grape Creek, Messina Hof and 4.0, offer more than elegant tasting rooms. Live music fills the air on weekends and cozy B&B's are available for overnight stays. Pamper yourself. Skip that plane trip to California and stay awhile to enjoy our Texas hospitality on the 290 Wine Trail. Annie's website: www.fabplacez.com
