Solaro Estate

Solaro Estate Winery -- Dripping Springs, Texas

One of the newest boutique wineries to open in Texas is making some high quality robust reds that will make you want to come back for seconds and thirds. Winemaking can be both an art and a science and this winemaker has done a superb job balancing both skills. This winery ...is dedicated to creating pure Texas pleasure via the grape with mostly 100% Texas sourced grapes from single sourced vineyards. Over half of their wines use Texas sourced grapes, making this winery a must visit for those truly passionate about more locally and Texas sourced products and wines. Their current lineup is all about the reds, with every one well worth sipping and enjoying. They cater to dry reds and are doing a fantastic job producing them, with Rieslings and Muscat soon to follow later this fall or early winter. The tasting room is a delightful spot with floor and ceiling windows allowing visitors to soak up some beautiful Texas hill country scenery of distant rolling hills amid the foreground of grapevines, while savoring the fruits of the harvest.

Colorado River Winery -- Bastrop, Texas

The historic downtown Bastrop area provides an ideal location for one of the newest wineries to open in Texas. December 21st, 2013 was the opening day for owners Brad and Sylvia Cook. Apparently, it's been a dream of Brad's to have a winery since his young wine making days. Now he gets to retire and do what he loves. The long slender tasting room has Tuscany style décor with a relaxed, cozy and welcoming atmosphere making you feel at home. The winery offers a selection of wine related gift and gourmet food items, along with a selection of jewelry. Wine making is done on the premises. You may get a scent of CO2 in the air as part of the experience. That's just to get your brain ready for some good wine tasting! They get their juices primarily from California and Washington, though their Tempranillo is Texas sourced. There are currently eight wines available for tasting. The unoaked Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio are quite refreshing as the temperatures outside begin to heat up. The sweet white is a Riesling blend that is bright, clean and quite good. The Sweet Blush with hints of raspberry, tastes great chilled. For the reds, the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon wines are soft enough on the palate for most to enjoy. Their best dry red is the Tempranillo. The top seller by far though has been something that was just supposed to be a seasonal variety for the holidays, their Seasonal Bliss. The Seasonal Bliss has just a hint of cranberry and sweetness married in this good medium bodied wine to create a great bliss to cap off your tasting session. This is a great spot to bring your friends to swirl and chill. Have fun, stay a while and enjoy the wines, staff and the comfortable tasting room. We think you'll enjoy the visit! Cheers!
