"Cute, rustic winery. Came here with a large wine bus group. They accommodated us well. Their wine was very drinkable, with their Mouvedre being my favorite. They also have a dog running around the property. Laid back place. A bit of a drive if you're in DFW, but worth it if you want to go to a winery off the well beaten path."
