The Wine Roads of Texas is the premier guide to wines made in the nation’s fifth-largest wine producing state and the inspiration for the three-part PBS series of the same name. In his foreword, Robert Mondavi sees “distinct parallels” between the wine industries of Napa Valley in the 1950s and Texas today.
