Bending Branch Winery an award winning winery on the Texas Wine Trail
Bending Branch Winery is a boutique vineyard and winery on 56 scenic acres in Comfort, Texas, along the Texas Wine Trail. The winery offers 13 varietals that have been carefully selected to properly suit the Texas terroir.
Among their award winning wine are Petite Sirah, Picpoul Blanc and Tannat. While Tannat, their signature red grape, has quickly emerged as a natural for the Lonestar state, they've found great success with Cabernet Sauvignon, Vermentino, Roussanne and many more. Bold in flavor, and hardy in nature, Tannat wine is gaining recognition and popularity as a world class wine.

Becker Vineyards - Stonewall, Texas
This has to be one of the classic winery destination stops of the Texas Hill Country. Established in 1992 by Richard and Bunny Becker when there was nothing out there, they have now helped establish Fre...dericksburg and the Texas Hill Country as a top destination for wine lovers in the state. With both estate vines and access to vineyards from the Texas High Plains and throughout most of Texas, the Beckers' have grape resources to make just about any quality Texas wine you can imagine. Any time of the year is a great time to visit as the winery has many events and live music occasions on a regular basis. Most wines made here are Bordeaux, Burgundian and Rhone style. The list of wines is quite extensive and to pick out a few to grab your attention would do injustice to the others. One thing is for sure, the older the reds you have from Becker wines the better they will be! Plus, the reds are good for your heart, just ask the doctor. The estate grounds have a log cabin built around 1890s. The reception hall adjacent to the winery is a great place for events. The outside grounds and surrounding Hill Country landscape makes a good backdrop for weddings. And there is more than just wine! Check out the lavender fields! During their annual Lavender Festival, you can enjoy picking your own lavender then enjoy some great tasting Becker wine. The winery also makes a great place for your first wine date. What's there not to like about this place? You just can't go wrong here! Check out their website to see what the latest events are and plan your next trip accordingly.

William Chris Vineyards - 2010 Enchanté 1080p.mov
Enchanté is French, and we take its meaning well here in the Texas Hill Country! Please meet our newest, the 2010 vintage of Enchanté, our proud flagship wine. Earmarked mainly for our Hye Society members, just 604 cases were produced, sourced from 100% Texas grapes -- Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec, Cab Franc, and a touch of Ruby Cab. We can personally attest that this young wine pairs well with smoked venison and Lockhart quail. Hope to see you at the Winery, west of Austin on 290 between Johnson City and Fredericksburg. Enchanté, ya'll!

Duchman Family Winery -- Driftwood, Texas
Founded in 2004, this Italian style winery in Texas is making good, affordable wines. Some Texas wine lovers will remember this place as Mandola Winery, which has since been sold. (Not to worry though, the Mandola's have a restaurant conveniently located next door.) One will first notice the vast vineyards that have been planted at the estate with a wide variety of grapes. The wine selection is well balanced between white and reds. The majority of the wines are crafted in a dry style, yet there are a few sweeter and dessert wines available in the mix. The Montepulciano should not be missed! An upscale restaurant on the premises has one of the more unique views of the vineyard and the Hill Country. When visiting, sit back under the oak trees at one of the picnic tables with your favorite bottle and enjoy this piece of Italy in Texas. Salute!

Joy joins us on the show to taste the 2011 Messina Hof Pinot Grigio, The 2010 Becker Vineyards Iconoclast Cabernet Sauvignon, and the 2009 Becker Vineyards Reserve Merlot.

Flat Creek Estate -- Marble Falls, Texas
The windy road of 1431 from Cedar Park to Marble Falls has been known to be one of the more picturesque scenes of the Texas Hill County. Situated just between the northern parts of Lake Travis and the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge is a vineyard located on some pristine land. The rolling hills, landscape, and architecture has a bit of a Tuscany feel to it. You might think that you've stepped through a door way to a vineyard region of Italy! Established at the beginning of the 21st century, the 80 acre estate has about 20 acres of vines that blend nicely with the rolling hills. Sangiovese, Tempranillo, Muscat Canelli, and Pinot Grigio are some of the varietals grown here. From their quality wine selection, you'll have the pleasure of tasting their famous Super Texas and their popular Blanco Brio. Do try their Bucking Horse Red which is a Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah blend. And while you're at it, you'll also want to try the Bucking Horse White (100% Viognier). They've done a very nice job with their Rose and you certainly can't leave without sipping their wonderful Sparkling Almond wine! Feel free to roam the grounds and take lots of pictures. The Flat Creek Bistro (original tasting room) is a great place to hold an event. They often have wine pairing dinner events as well, so keep an eye out for those and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. The stone arches of the outside Pavilion also makes a great outside venue. With friendly faces to serve you and good wine to keep your taste buds happy, this place is worth hanging out longer than expected.

Haak Winery -- Santa Fe, Texas
Nestled along the Texas gulf coast in Galveston County, is a winery that has some great tasting Blanc du Bois and sweet red blush wines. This winery has been in business for some time and is often very lively on the weekends with events frequently scheduled on their back patio, which often include live music and an opportunity to enjoy the entertainment while meeting other wine enthusiasts. There is a generous sampling of wine related gifts and food pairing options available in their gift shop and a growing list of wines offered on their menu. Though there are both dry and sweet wines available, we found the sweets to be more of their specialty. Dessert wines are also available and should not be missed.

Tanya Tucker - Hangin' In, Strong Enough to Bend and The Jamestown Ferry in HD
Lyrics to the songs below:
Tanya Tucker singing at The Grays Harbor County Fair, Thursday, August 11, 2016 on the Pepsi stage.
(Lyrics)
Hangin' In
You said goodbye on Tuesday
I figured I would see you by the weekend
I either didn't hear you right
Or maybe this ol' heart didn't listen
So I'm writing you this letter I may never send
Wonderin' if you're wonderin' how I've been
It's lonely but I'm hangin' in
Hangin' out till I'm with you again
Runnin' out of reason to be strong
Hangin' in, hangin' out, hangin' on
Talk about blue Monday
Tomorrow it's a week I've been without you
I haven't gone to work yet
I couldn't do a thing but think about you
But I know that I can make it through whatever comes
As long as there is still a chance to save our love
It's lonely but I'm hangin' in
Hangin' out till I'm with you again
Runnin' out of reason to be strong
Hangin' in, hangin' out, hangin' on
It's lonely but I'm hangin' in
Hangin' out till I'm with you again
Runnin' out of reason to be strong
Hangin' in, hangin' out, hangin' on

Strong Enough to Bend
There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason its still standing
It was strong enough to bend
For years, we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
When you say something that you can't take back
Big wind blows and you hear a little crack
When you say Hey well I might be wrong
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
When you start thinkin' that you know it all
Big wind blows and a branch will fall
When you say Hey this job takes two
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend

The Jamestown Ferry
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
A case of gone is all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone is all he'd ever be
Didn't think that he'd leave me
After he saying how much he needs me
But the fact still remains I sitting her all alone
Missing the love of my baby
Lord it's about to drive me crazy
He was the sweetest piece of heaven I've ever known
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
A case of gone is all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone is all he'd ever be
As I walk through his kingdom of Honky Tonks and Bars
I remember how he hold me and comfort me with talk
He didn't curse with every breath
He had a soothing southern drawl
He made me feel like a lady through it all.
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me
A case of gone is all he carried
As he got on the Jamestown Ferry
He said that gone is all he'd ever be
He just caught the Jamestown Ferry
It's not a hot day in January
Like he said it'd be if he ever left me

One thing we were concerned about before we started living in our RV and traveling full time was finding locations to camp. We just plan ahead, and this is how we do that!
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Click Show More ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
UPDATE (November 2019): We still LOVE our Rand McNally GPS, but TechnoRV has switched to Garmin. See this article ( for more details.
We'd heard lots of warnings about never getting into national parks, state parks, etc. Well, we were in over 45 locations last year all over the East coast of the U.S. and about 15 so far this year out west. We've never had an issue finding a site, and we've stayed in Campgrounds, RV Parks, State Parks, USACE (US Army Core of Engineers) Sites, etc. Yes, National parks are much more size restricted, but there are plenty of big rig friendly parks outside the national parks! We just plan ahead, and this is how we do that!

########### UPDATE ####################
As this video was in editing, we got the following update from RV Trip Wizard:
We have two significant product releases/tie-ins coming out. Within a few weeks we’ll be releasing an update to Trip Wizard that includes true RV-safe routing, taking into consideration not just height, but length, width, propane (or not), tunnels, bridges, etc. It will also allow custom settings on a per trip basis, so if you want to plan a trip without the RV, or with a different RV you can, without messing up your global settings. The other big release is our RV Life App 2.0. It’s actually out now for IOS, but it’s been a soft release. RV Trip Wizard customers will be able to get this app for $10 and will allow them to access the trips they have created in RVTW, as well as turn-by-turn GPS, access to all of the campground data, articles, and even offline maps for any or all states they wish for full access when no internet signal is available.
We had a chance to play around a bit with the RV Life App, and it looks very promising!
